WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has released a photo of President Barack Obama firing a gun, two days before he heads to Minnesota to discuss gun control.

In a recent interview with The New Republic magazine, Obama said "yes" when asked if he has ever fired a gun. He said "we do skeet shooting all the time," except for his daughters, at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

Not that far back. You lose leverage, plus muzzle velocity.

All ports that I've seen have been within the last inch or so of the barrel.

And from Reuters...

"President Barack Obama celebrated his 51st birthday on Saturday with a round of golf, then helicoptered to the Camp David presidential retreat for a quiet evening off the campaign trail. Obama, an avid golfer, played with colleagues and friends at the Andrews Air Force Base in hot, muggy weather conditions before taking Marine One to Maryland's Catoctin Mountains in the afternoon.

The White House did not release details of the president's evening plans or share the menu for the birthday meal he was expected to share with wife, Michelle."

No mention of skeet...

Am I the only one surprised Bath-House Barry isn’t wearing his bike helmet?

After all, guns are dangerous!

Love it!!!

Browning Citori.

I believe so too. Not sure why only the top barrel has the gold plated screw-in choke though. Course, an ol' country boy like me, has only shot the economy model.

Yeah isn’t there Exif data encoded within the picture itself?

[DJ MacWoW]

We know it’s a fake.

[who knows what evil?]

No mention of skeet...

...probably part of the 'birthday meal'...

There might be but I don’t know how to access that. Do you?

Ok, I stand corrected. Still an odd smoke pattern in the day of smokeless powder, plus he only seems to have one hole. lol

[Dr.Zoidberg]

A clay pigeon on a fence post shot?

Yeah sure, that’s some real skeet shooting there boyo!

[Lucky2]

The Dear Leader is a complete joke. One has to imagine the “official” picture was photoshopped. He’s never held a gun in his pathetic life!

[Errant]

Furthermore, only one side of the ports seems to be working. I guess the other side (left side) is stopped up? The bottom screw in choke tube is missing too.

Poor gun safety/maintenance, IMO! ;)

Strange, Obama shoots a clay pigion crossing the road.
