Seven Reasons Why it's a Photoshop(Obama's skeet photo)

I'm sure we've all seen by now the "photo op" of President Obama shooting skeet. If he's shooting skeet then I'm Daffy Duck.

Now, what's wrong with the president's picture? First the weapon is nearly level to the ground. Can't be skeet shooting, nor likely trap either. Second, it is evident that the President has never shot a shotgun before as his stance is leaning slightly backward. Look at the position of his torso to his legs. Skeet or trap shooters never do this. They lean slightly forward like a boxer in the ring. Third, he doesn't know or was never taught that the butt of the weapon must fit to his shoulder. He's holding the weapon with a gap between his shoulder and the top of the butt. Sure you can fire it that way, but expect lots of pain if not bruising later.

Smoke going straight out the barrel is normal, but what the heck is that second smoke stream shooting behind and away from the barrel?

The author needs to get out more. As someone else said, there's no evidence for photoshopping.

Is that gun ported? Why the smoke perpendicular to barrel?

It is the smoke from a prior shot.

It IS a photoshop (added with Indesign).

We are a Hollywood production company and our staff is one of the best masters in not only special effects but graphic design. The head of the graphic design department ran it through a filter and said it is “80% faked”.

They’ve dropped the Skeet angle. Now they’re saying “clay targets;

” POTUS shoots clay targets on the range at Camp David on Aug. 4, 2012.”

That's a big improvement since the shooter himself is 100 percent fake...everything except Marxist.

I posted this reply:

I’m sorry, but I can’t stand “experts” who pretend every skeet/trap range is exactly the same. Rocky Creek Sporting Clays in SC has one station with “the rabbit” - a clay that rolls across the ground - DEFINITELY below the horizon. There are additional stations where - if you are shooting a true double - you’d have to be a great shooter to pick up the second clay before it drops below the horizon.

Obama is an idiot and photo-op president who CLEARLY does not go shooting “all the time.” The analysis above just shows he’s a really bad shooter, not that the photo wasn’t taken on a clay course of some kind.

That seems like a lot of smoke for “smokeless” powder.

OMG yes! It’s a fake!

A Photoshopped fake.

I demand the White House release video footage.

This has been my argument from the start. He may actually be shooting a shotgun and he may actually be shooting at Camp David but that picture was not taken on station at the Camp David Skeet Range. That picture was taken from the side and I don’t care which stage your on the fence or one of the houses or another station will be in the back ground.

All I know is, somewhere Michael Dukakis must be smiling because finally someone’s come along that looks even un-cooler and dumber than he does with a big weapon....

His shouldering of the weapon was the 1st dead give away of that fraud.

I can’t imagine the pain you would be in.

To me it is more interesting that the President looks like he is shooting a shotgun with a threaded barrel mount for the choke, and its ported as a form of muzzle brake. Under Sen. Feinstein’s bill, a threaded barrel is one of the tests for determining if a semiautomatic rifle or shotgun is an “assault weapon”. So the over-under shotgun the President himself is using has the same type of barrel as an “assault weapon”. Somebody should ask him why he was using a shotgun with “assault weapon” features.

I seem to remember the smoke pattern for the vented Barrel coming out both sides, not just one.

Bingo!

I’m thinking the same thing. Might of been taken at camp David but not at skeet range. Looks like it was taken on helicopter pad road. Also in the picture on the right there is a sign posted on the tree, would be easy to figure out exact location picture was taken.

Just outside the wooden skeet range fence (south) is public access road to camp David entrance. On the far left side at the corner skeet station is dead end road, also serves as turnaround (cul-de-sac) it’s about 4 lanes wide. (Not the cart path Obama pic shows)

Just my 2 cents.
