Some of you younger folks might not remember this, but there was a time when the media questioned Power. No, really, once upon a time, the media saw it as its duty to be forever questioning and skeptical of Power, especially when Power was in pursuit of more power.
Today, however, the White House released a photo that purports to show Obama (love that tucked-in shirt) shooting skeet last August. Except… he's shooting straight ahead, which means that there's either a barn door somewhere in need of some patching, or Obama is such an awesome skeet shooter, he hits them as they come out of the firing device.
Because the photo is odd, some are asking perfectly legitimate questions.
But not the media.
What did the media do?
Because the media no longer questions or is skeptical of Power, and instead sees its role as protector of The State, the media mocked those who were skeptical:

I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT, SECOND TO SEEING HIS BACKGROUND CHECK OF RECORDS.
Oh, come ON now. That is so obviously a fake, since it is well known Obama is left handed.

No camel toe!
Someone should Photoshop one of those cartoon horseshoe barrels.
Wholeheartedly agree with MrB’s succintly-put point:
“It is very important that they appear to support hunting and sporting use of firearms to hide their true goal of total confiscation.
Don’t just discuss “skeet gate”. Make sure you directly confront the WHY of it.”

Couldn’t someone (other than me) offer a cash reward for anyone who can duplicate that smoke pattern in real life? If no one can, even with a cash incentive . .

Im not a photo shopper but Id sure like to see Barack wielding a flyswatter
Lets hear from the WH photographer who got this shot.....dont they attach they names to them ?
“Lets hear from the WH photographer who got this shot”
... if he’s still alive. As someone posted on another thread, he would have had to have been standing in the “hot zone” in order to get this shot — where he could’ve been plunked by an over-eager skeet-shooting commander-in-jeans.
Isn't there video footage of Sarah Palin shooting a caribou? Of course she was mocked as an uncivilized hick by the MSM but she at least knew how to handle a gun and actually hit something and wasn't a fraud like Obozo.
Funny thing though, I read that the Shotgun Kerry used at the time was one that he wanted included in the Clinton Assault Weapons Ban.
What does it matter? Rulers don’t have to follow Rules.
Very nice! thank you
