How big of an Obama lapdog is Andrea Mitchell? Even bigger than ardent Obama fan Chris Hughes. The Facebook co-founder, who bought the New Republic last year, recently scored an interview with President Obama that has been criticized for its generally soft questioning. But during an appearance on Mitchell's MSNBC show today, even Hughes was more candid about the prez than Mitchell.
When it came to the President's statement during the interview that at Camp David "we do skeet shooting all the time," Mitchell claimed "he didn't say that he was skeet shooting, but he does say that it's one of the practices at Camp David by his guests." Responding, Hughes effectively contradicted her: "Frank Foer, the editor of New Republic, actually asked him point blank 'have you ever fired a gun?' And in response he said "yeah, we go skeet shooting all the time up at Camp David. He and his guests. Which is news to us and news to a lot of people." The transcript of the interview makes clear that, contrary to Mitchell's claim, Obama answered in the personal and affirmative.

Maybe 0bama will take Dick Cheney with him on a skeet shoot. Hopefully Cheney will be using 3.5 inch 00 buckshot to blow them clay pigeons up real good!
So where’s Candy Crowley when you REALLY need her?
It’s almost equally surprising to hear that he goes to Camp David. Seems rather mundane, considering his penchant for trips to more exotic locales...
I believe there was one article thqat says he hates Camp David.
Obama was referring to a game he played with his kids on the Wii. He’d be too afraid to actually touch a gun.
He was in office for some time before deigning to go to Camp David, out there in the sticks. He’d go to in-town Wizards games instead.
New Headline:
Mitchell Claims Obama A Skeet-Pimp
Yeah -- too many guns there... ;>)
What’s the equivalent of a gutterball for a skeet shooter?
Have Dick meet me at the bar before he leaves. I’ll treat him to a double Martini.
Watching the clay pigeon sail into a hillside.
Doesn’t skeet shooting constitute cruelty to animals? What about all those orphan skeets left motherless by these cruel “sportsmen”?
Does PETA know they shoot skeets for sport at Camp David?
Hold the line, I’m calling PETA now....
That proves it was you, not the shotgun.
Somebody needs to ask him what you shout for the SECOND pull. Or what gauge he shoots. He'd stand there and stammer.
Idiot.
It’s been a while since they called “mark” or “birds”...
Your majesty... You look like the piss boy!
