Skeeter President: Mock on, Americans
In his memoir Fear No Evil, Jewish Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky recounts the mind games the KGB played with him as they tried to entrap him in “confessions” of treason. What allowed Sharansky to survive was his ability to anticipate their moves in a game that began with transparent lies from his government, ones he recognized from kindergarten.
This month, as evidenced by the release of a photo supposedly showing the president engaged in skeet-shooting, we have similar mind games being played by the Obama administration and with all the sophistication of junior high school intrigues.
Sycophantic media, like the Daily Beast, the Washington Post, and New York Magazine, called mockers of President Obama’s skeet-shooting photo “conspiracy nuts.”
They seemed to be following orders, specifically a taunting tweet from David Plouffe on Saturday, February 2: “Attn skeet birthers. Make our day — Let the photoshop conspiracies begin!” A few minutes later, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer tweeted, “For all the skeeters: POTUS shoots clay target on the range at Camp David.”
Both tweets linked to the official photo accompanied by the warning: ”This official White House photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.”
Amazingly, Chris Cillizza and Aaron Black at the Washington Post excused such preemptive pettiness as a necessity in today’s age of social media and claimed: “While Obama and his inner circle pride themselves on their lack of drama and their tendency not to overreact to the political winds that buffet Washington … they have repeatedly shown a keen awareness of and concern for issues that would have likely been considered beneath most past administrations.”
But both ringmasters, Plouffe and Pfeiffer, were off the mark in conjuring up reactions from “right-wingers.” Most of the comments did not question whether the photo was a fake. Rather, experienced skeet-shooters questioned Obama’s claim in the New Republic about doing this “all the time.” They critiqued the positioning of the shotgun, the level aim, and compared his amateurish stance to that when he threw out the first pitch at the World Series dressed in “mom jeans.” Obama did not take up Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn’s challenge to a skeet shoot.
These Americans also defied the orders against altering the photo, to the delight of my immigrant heart. I happened to be reading Sharansky that day and recalled a trip back to Marshall Tito’s Yugoslavia as a kid, when my father asked my uncles in a very low tone about the government — was there any more freedom than before we had emigrated? They evaded the question.
My international students tell me that mocking their leader can land them in jail. I had become discouraged watching fellow Americans meekly subject themselves to body searches for the privilege of boarding a plane. And I dread visits to a doctor’s office in the future when I am likely to be given the quality of care that I’ve come to expect at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
But on this occasion, a veritable artistic renaissance of American ingenuity sprang up on my Facebook page. Using Photoshop, red-blooded Americans who are insulted by Obama’s attempts to infringe on their First and Second Amendment rights put Obama in series of poses that gave the lie to the official image of manliness. Obama was given a pair of shapely female legs in hot pants, in pastel patterned underwear, and a bright pink tutu. He was shown in the Beverly Hillbillies truck with a shotgun. He was shown with Elmer Fudd. His shotgun was made into a Nerf gun. He was shown shooting the Constitution, straight ahead and not high in the air as one would with skeet shooting (as I’ve learned).
There is still a segment of the American population that will not comply with the kind of order that is demanded by petty dictators who are incapable of commanding respect in other ways.
Obama, the quintessential metrosexual, has been as careful as Vladimir Putin to project an image of command, from the jaunty run on the steps of Air Force One, to the overly crisp military salute, to the affected steely gaze, to the decisive end to sentences (skewered on Saturday Night Live). He began his campaign with Roman columns, after all.
Of course, Obama has complicit media like the above-mentioned outlets, as well as the New York Times, which did an extensive pre-election profile about how Obama personally selects the targets for drone attacks. This comes after campaigning on the fact that he had killed Osama bin Laden.
And then there was the false machismo when he came to Susan Rice’s aid on the Benghazi lies.
Obama had a “truth team” — a concept that appeals to the ignorant and largely illiterate masses of graduates from government schools who have never read Orwell or heard about “dissidents.” And in all seriousness, an MSNBC host claimed that the boorish president was due “deference” from his opponent Mitt Romney during the debates.
So where will we go from here? Will we succumb?
Or will we borrow strategies from those who lived under communist regimes (like Oleg Atbashian at the People’s Cube)? Will we continue the proud tradition of mocking those who most deserve it, such as those who use their henchmen to mock the American people?
In these times, the thought occurs that the federal government is tracking all those who post and re-post altered photos of the president. Certainly, through his executive orders along with a cowed Republican party, he has chipped away at Americans’ Constitutional rights and ignored his oath to uphold the law (as in the Defense of Marriage Act, border security, etc.). With most of the Republican representatives and senators capitulating, perhaps we have only one known weapon left, as did those living under the Soviet regime: humor.
Immigrants from former communist countries were shocked and dismayed by the election of Barack Obama. Now with this unprecedented warning accompanying the release of photos, we see his strategy going one step further — a preemptive attempt to silence his “enemies.”
Will we allow him? We are at a crossroads. Such photo-op releases — like those of Russian President Vladimir Putin bare-chested outdoors on horseback — with strategically timed taunts and warnings, as well as claims to having a “truth team,” are signs of desperation.
The way to expose this desperation is through mockery. After all, the White House began — in typical fashion — with a preemptive mocking of Americans.
Our strategy seems to have worked. The sophisticates at the Washington Post and Daily Beast only knew Plouffe and Pfeiffer’s story, and they were sticking to it. There has been no statement from a White House “truth team” regarding the veracity of the president going skeet-shooting in a pink tutu.
“This month, as evidenced by the release of a photo supposedly showing the president engaged in skeet-shooting, we have similar mind games being played by the Obama administration and with all the sophistication of junior high school intrigues.”
Just wait until you see the pictures of Obama Mao swimming in the Yangtze river.
And don’t forget the pictures of Dear Leader walking across the Yangtze river and not even getting wet. And no, I’m not taking about walking across the Yangtze river when it’s frozen over in the winter, I’m talking about in the middle of summer.
Photoshoppers unite!! You have nothing to lose but the chains the Fascist liberals are wanting to put around your necks.
Have you seen the photo yet of Obama Spock as a young boy greeting Neil Armstrong as he first set foot on the moon?
Or how about the one of Obama, in a previous life, teaching Annie Oakley how to shoot?
Please note the White House response to the death of Neil Armstrong. A photo of Obama staring up into the starry sky. It was an old photo and that’s all Armstrong got? Shooting skeet, my patootie! I’ve read that he doesn’t even like Camp David.
No, but I saw one where he was sword fighting pirate skeletons on an asteroid in outer space.
I like Obama Borg. Closer to his true nature – assimilate or die.
There was also the photo in the history archives of him accompanying McArthur as he came ashore to the Phillipines.
Wasn’t that him sitting next to Lincoln just after he gave the Gettysburg Address?
The dumbest aspect of this whole skeet-shooting fiasco is the fact that the Obama administration arrogantly proclaimed that the photo could not be manipulated in any way. That only guaranteed the photo would be manipulated in every possible way.
Indeed. It’s as if the WH is the quintessential “teacher” in the classroom who warns the students not to chew gum in class. Or, even better, I simply say, “I’m an American and as such, I have the right to criticize, condemn and even ridicule the government.”
Despotic regimes throughout history have always shown disdain for mockery, while mocking those who they disagree against.
Once again, this is a thin-skinned, juvenile, narcissistic, adolescent man-child president who has never done anything in his life except make a practice of pissing people off for the simple fun of it.
He is neither very bright nor very clever. It really is the “most transparent” administration in history by virtue of all the age-old trappings of trying to hide everything. As if they could re-invent the wheel. As if they could invent anything.
Thankfully, they are so blindly ignorant of history that they can’t even see the old tricks as being such, thinking they are “new tricks” that have never been seen before. But any adult who’s a parent has seen all this from teenagers who don’t realize that evidence comes in many forms.
The adults may someday return to our government but I’m not holding my breath.
Under Obamalaw only Obama has the right to photoshop documents and pictures. Those found guilty of breaking that law will in the future be sent to the camps being prepared for them.
After he steals everything they own.
It’s not that he will steal it, he will just instruct you in how to be more fair by paying your taxes.
Don’t forget to eat your peas.
And they forgot the most important element: that photo belongs to US, the U.S. taxpayers. We paid for it. And once they posted it, it became public domain to do with as we saw fit. I’m glad hundreds of photoshoppers had a field day with it. Suck it up, Dear Leader.
Mao did the same type of stunts
The Obama method is to look for problems, find them everywhere, diagnosis them incorrectly and then misapply the wrong remedies.
Just as the old saying: “if you think the problems the government creates are bad, just wait until you see their solutions.”
Very good Groucho and TPM. Now let’s put it all together.
The Obama method is to look for problems, find them everywhere, diagnosis them incorrectly and then misapply the wrong remedies, and if you think the problems Obama is creating are bad, just wait until you see his final solutions.
Obama thinks the solution is totalitarian islam.
Right on the money.
If that’s what he were doing, there would be the occasional “screwup” in which he actually did something that did not hurt people … accidentally of course … so, no, I don’t think he’s doing exactly what you describe … but it sure looks that way a lot of the time …
I disagree.
Obama’s method is to claim something is a problem that is not, then to accuse his “enemies” (i.e., us) of creating the problem, then to propose no solution, then to accuse his enemies of craven evil whatever they propose or heartlessness if they do not propose, then to mock his opponents, then to unilaterally expand his power to demonstrate his leadership, then to move on to the next claim.
Well,if I’m not on Barokeydoke’s enemies list,I guess I’m just not trying hard enough
I agree completely with ridiculing the ridiculous, as long as we’re still paying attention to doing whatever we can to fight the “progress” this administration is working on. And Obambi and his minions will do more really dumb things for us if we pick on their skeet shooting hero.
Ridicule is a very effective tool when fighting back against a cult of personality. Obama is a consummate narcissist and thing of political fiction. He and his handlers are working tirelessly to construct the perfect mask. The mask reflects back at every individual that gazes upon it exactly what that individual wishes to see – a proud dad, or benevolent boss ( if you’re Chris Rock), a strong, proud black man, a nurturing family man, an even-tempered scholar and diplomat – whatever you imagine the ideal American president to be. Of course, that’s not who the real man is. Many of those around him have described him as cold, ruthless, vain and arrogant. I don’t doubt it. To create a photoshopped image of the won in a tutu and throwing flowers to the mullahs, or as Yoda or a little boy licking a lollipop at George Soro’s knee is to shrink his image down to human size, erase the hipness. And then hopefully more people will realize that the emperor has no clothes.
“In these times, the thought occurs that the federal government is tracking all those who post and re-post altered photos of the president.”
Remember how SOPA and PIPA failed due to intense pressure from online activism? The powers that be wanted the power those bills contained. Badly. So they went around the back door; starting last July all major internet service providers started using “deep packet sniffing” software to examine the information flowing through the pipeline to each customer. They are currently generating a complete record of your internet history. Ostensibly this is to catch copyright infringement, but you know they’re in bed with Washington. The second some government agency wants your entire web history the ISP will be all to happy to turn it over. My recommendation to anybody valuing their privacy is to get a VPN. With a VPN your internet connection is routed through a server and encrypted to your computer. This means that websites you visit can’t get your real IP address, and your ISP cannot watch what you’re doing online. Most VPN companies store no record of web history and the offshore ones won’t comply with US govt requests. Even if you’re doing nothing illegal I cannot recommend this enough, they’re building the mother of all databases on us all right now, and it will not be used benevolently. Just look at look at the link below, a government not intent on doing massive datamining and spying on its own citizens does not need such a thing.

In Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, laughter and smiles were what brought down the forces of evil. We certainly need both in our arsenals.
You want laughter and smiles? Go back to the beginning of this idiotic brouhaha. The Kenyan was asked whether he’d ever shot a firearm. He replied that “we do skeet shooting all the time” down at good ol’ Camp David.
I’ve posted this observation elsewhere, but I just can’t post it enough…
NO ONE with the merest exposure to shotgunning says “we do skeet shooting.” I don’t “do bowling” on Tuesday nights. I don’t “do fishing” on summer weekends. And I damn sure don’t “do skeet shooting,” or any other kind of shooting, EVER. I bowl. I fish. I shoot skeet.
Yeah, the photo shows the breathtaking amateurism of what passes for a president these days, but long before the ridiculous pic came out, the story was told when the child said, “we do skeet shooting.” To my ear, and to anyone who actually knows what he is so desperately trying to talk about, the lie is obvious.
It’s like Gene Wilder in “Silver Streak,” only sorta backwards, and not very funny.
Thank you, Terry.
I have never shot skeet, or anything else for that matter, and even I knew that sentence construction was wrong. I’m glad someone who really knows the subject put that out there… I wasn’t confident to say so, given I’ve never shot skeet. Shot skeet. Shot skeet.
Likewise, even though I’ve never shot skeet, I suspected the position of the skeet shooting rifle was not in the correct position to shoot a skeet that is in the air, where a skeet about to be shot would actually be. Again, having never shot skeet, I was not confident saying that a skeet shooter would shoot the skeet in the air, not parallel to the ground.
Now, many days after my initial impression that the position of the rifle in president skeet shooter’s picture was wrong, many seasoned skeet shooters have on other threads confirmed my gut. So thanks to all of them, too.
Then there’s the position of the skeet shooter’s rifle on the shoulder that looks off, to me, a non-skeet shooter. I’ve read in other places that that, too, is incorrect, and would have caused some problems for President Skeet Shooter’s shoulder.
May I suggest that we add President Skeet Shooter to the list of other pet names we have for the Dear Reader. You know the ones… President Mom Jeans, Teh Won, the Lightworker, the pResident and all the rest. I admit, though, I still like President Mom Jeans the best.
Not only does he insult our intelligence, he needs to destroy the English language, as well.
Orator?. No.
Fellator? Yes!
It’s just that English isn’t his native language …
No, Upper-Class Twit Academician is. In that English dialect, you “do” things, as in “let’s do lunch”. This probably explains his verbal confusion.
Of course, this is a man who seems perpetually confused by the real world, too. Apparently because it never matches up with the one inside his head.
clear ether
eon
Speaking of insulting our intelligence, did you notice that his cheek was pressed firmly against the stock? No shooter would ever do that, especially with a shotgun. It’s not only foolish, but dangerous as well. It could easily result in facial injury from the recoil. Obama didn’t win any fans among gun owners with that photo. He wanted to convince America that he was just a “regular guy”. Instead he came off looking like a complete doofus who had never touched a firearm in his life.
I suspected the position of the skeet shooting rifle was not in the correct position
It actually could have been, for a low-flying clay pigeon. That is, the barrel was oriented OK, but the position of the stock at his shoulder gave away his innocence of any shooting experience.
But only Annie Oakley shot skeet with a rifle, and she used mercury bullets to break the clay pigeons since they fanned out into droplets to simulate the shot from the shotgun that everyone else would have used. Environmentalists would not be amused.
Nope, you’re wrong, Granny Clampet shot skeets with a Winchester all the time. They tried to shoot golf too but couldn’t find any. All they found were the really hard, tough, white eggs they left behind.
Seriously though, many target/ exhibition shooters shoot skeet with handguns and rifles in their acts.
Cominskey Field, Nitally Lions, intercontinental railroad, 57 states, my Muslim faith, wee wee’d up, reptilian brain……………
Yes, the “we do sheet shooting” was all I needed to hear as well.
Another thing. Is Obama a leftie? I don’t mean politically, I mean is he left handed? ‘Cause he seems to be shooting in the reverse of my stance, which is right-handed. Just wondering…
Disregard. He’s left-handed.
He should have said something clever and convincing such as when John Kerry said, “Can I get me a huntin license here?”
While in the limo on the way to the outfitters place I can just see his handlers trying to get him to stop sounding like Thurston Howell III while asking for it.
Maybe so, but to give credit where it’s due, President You Didn’t Build That is far and away the most skilled, energetic gun and ammunition salesman in the entire United States. On the assumption he was clever enough to negotiate a decent commission scale, he’ll probably be able to afford to quit his day job in the near future and devote himself to golf and skeet hunting.
I must disagree – it seems there is already an assault weapons ban and a ban on the sale of ammunition.
Just go out and try to buy them!
You’ve nobody to blame but yourself in that regard. We all knew this was coming five years ago. Obama told us over and over that he was coming for our guns. Some people took his warning seriously and stocked up while they had the chance. Others got caught with their pants down, and are now caught up in the panicky stampede to buy guns & ammo anywhere they can.
The only reason “assault weapons” and ammunition are hard to get is because people have bought them all up in response to little barry’s latest politically motivated gun-ban stupidity and the idiotic proposals of his democrat sycophants. I recall we had an ammunition shortage a few years ago too and it took a while before the industry was able to restock the shelves.
Companies that manufacture arms and ammunition are not going to dump more money into additional processing equipment and hire more employees for a short-lived phenomenon. They know the average buying trends of the public and gear their manufacturing capabilities to match the trends. It takes about five years to pay off the purchase of capital equipment used in the manufacture of munitions, so unless the long-term trends support this purchase, it doesn’t make economic sense to dump money into it.
Take a deep breath and calm down as the shelves will once again fill with our favorite guns and ammo.
Haven’t you heard? He’s going after the industry now. He is considering an executive order to ban lead-based ammunition, using the EPA to declare it an “environmental hazard”. If you don’t believe me, look it up.
President You Didn’t Build That is far and away the most skilled, energetic gun and ammunition salesman in the entire United States
He may also be the most profligate and energetic purchaser of ammunition in the country, through DHS and some other Federal agencies, who have recently let contracts for the purchase of 1.6 billion cartridges of .223 and 9mm calibers.
One Donald Sensing speculates that there’s some real political skulduggery afoot from the Feds, and from mysterious suppliers who can’t be identified.
http://senseofevents.blogspot.com/2013/02/why-is-dhs-buying-billions-of-rounds-of.html
None if it surprises me.
This is one to store away with his phoney baloney Birth Certificates both the COLB and the Vault and his Connecticut Social Security # and his lying autobiographical non chronological invented events and ‘composite’ Girlfriends and of course his lifetime of carefully HIDDEN documents.
The LYING USURPER is the most deceitful man in America
Exactly. And about the made up girlfriend…that was a hot topic when it involved Manti Teo, with Obama not so much. Back to President DoSkeet, I’d pay a hefty fee to see a match between him and Sarah Palin.
Thank you, I just saw that in my brain. It would be hilarious. But in part two, I saw Bill Maher pull into the parking lot to cheer his hero on, bumping into Todd Palin and making it to the gallery with less-than a full set of teeth.
Does Sarah shoot skeet? Honestly, I don’t know. Not everybody who shoots, shoots skeet ya’ know. Personally, when I shoot clay birds I prefer trap. Even so, she undoubtedly has better shotgun skills than Obummer.
Onama’s just the front man for a deep, wide invasion. We’ve long been infected, and are now seeing the infection begin to pus up.
Its shows the contempt the USURPER and his minions have for the American people when they don”t even bother to post a BELIEVABLE photo of a ‘SKEET’ shooter.
Yes, they are full of contempt, but let’s not forget plain old laziness and stupidity. It seems almost everyone of their age is just plain incompetent, from the check out lady at Wal-Mart to Turbotax Timmy.
It was the drugs, I tell you.
Tom Wolfe was right.
Then again, when is he not?
And the young jerks these people spawned are less than useless.
And I thought I was the only one who noticed that the “Boomer Generation” is full of hippie burnouts and losers in high places.
I don’t think it’s photoshopped or anything like that because they’d done a better job if they’d made it up.
I don’t think they photoshopped it, although they might have, I just think the photo is not one of a man shooting SKEET , a man shooting a Skeet gun maybe but shooting at at SKEET impossible the angles are all wrong both for the shooter and his gun.
I have to tell you; the gun toting army of right wing Americans really have gotten my goat.
They’re making ObamaCreated law a farce.
Slandering a man of unparalleled moral fibre like he was some kind of enemy to the nation, not a Godsend to the great progressive crusade in America. A friend of the black man wherever he may be.
The Obama administration mandated; ordered the red neckers of America not to use the manly gun shooting photo of the President of the United States in any way shape or form. It’s embarrassing because skeet are shot in the sky and the gun looks to be pointed at Michelle or someone on a level with a 5 feet 6 inch ObamaShooter.
Disobeying Obama, some hostiles went out and did it anyway. Used the forbidden photo. Who do they think they are, Jack Bauer? Obama uses Drones to kill Americans. Doesn’t that put the fear of death into angry white males?
Well, now hear this, Obama haters, you’re not going to get away with breaking ObamaRules, not as long as I and many other ObamaLovers are ready to report you to Obama.
When the President says jump, the Republicans had better say, “how high”. Instead they’ve insulted the greatest living President since Fidel Castro.
Fact is, my hostility rose to a fever pitch when I spied an ad running in U.S. gun magazines nationally which was picked up on you tube. Somebody’s going to jail for this shameful disregard for ObamaCopyrightLaws, accompanied by verbal orders right from Obama’s mouth.
The headline in the magazine reads, “Target the second amendment and you may find yourself looking down the business end of this Winchester X3 gas operated autoloading shotgun.
The visual really spooked me.
It’s the off limits photo you’ve all seen of Obama standing like a proud American; shooting the man sized weapon of death and destruction as the smoke billows up and out like if you saw me this instant so mad that steam is coming out of my angry rosy red ears.
The first line of the body copy made me cringe. It started off.
It’s his weapon of choice when he goes skeet shooting. Incidentally, every skeet he kills, Michelle serves up to Obama and the younguns. They say skeek with dark gravy tastes mighty good.
The body copy continues.
“It’ll take a skeet out of the sky at 75 yards”, says President Obama, and put down a wood-be robber coming through your door at 10 feet. Continues the President, “Just the sound of that first cock of my Winchester is enough to make most dirt bags take off running.
But Obama doesn’t stop there. He goes on to preen proud as a peacock.
“And here’s a good teaching moment for all of you, states Obama.
“Better believe it. A guy, and you don’t have to be the President like me, standing at the front door with one of these babies will protect your school children till the cows come home. I felt bad when I made that speech at Sandy Hook School because I never got around to talking about the protective aspects of my new Winchester. Which makes school children like mine, Natasia and Malia Ann, and yours safe as a baby in a mother’s arms whose hand is never more than inches away a Glock” model 36 , cocked and loaded.
There’s about 100 more words in the body copy, but the point is made, and I am so disappointed that the President would stoop so low as to endorse any kind of weapon.
The ad is signed by Winchester so you know it’s legitimate.
See, I had high hopes that, between the new Muslim American hating TV station just sold by Al Gore, “English Al Jazerra”, MSNBC and the rest of the U.S. Obama media except, of course, for Fox, we could put the U.S. nation and people in a defenseless state, with total gun confiscation not more than 6 months away.
Besides confiscating all guns, we were ready with plans to swamp the Army with female combat troops who promised either to surrender at the first sign of danger, or to turn on their male colleagues with guns blazing. Maybe, ironically, with weapons made by Winchester. But, as they say, at least as Robert Burns once wrote,”the best laid plans of mice and men”… well,hell, you know the rest.
Sadly and wistfully, with President Obama appearing to be changing horses in midstream, coming out fore-square as a pro-gun pro second amendment supporter, we must consider another way to work to destroy America.
I suspect the awful performance of Charlie Hagel along with the one-two punch of Leon Panetta, head of the FBI, admitting to the nation that Obama refused to send help to the battling bastards of Benghazi which Obama’s staff laughingly calls them, forced Obama to take more of a pro American, pro gun position. Of course, that’s just conjecture on my part.
Let me add, too, that pro gun control leftist, Chris Dorner posing with Obama in color pictures in California when Dorner was a member of the LAPD doesn’t help Obama’s poll ratings these days. Luckily the mainstream media has left out all of the leftist talk from Dorner’s Manifesto.
But that’s small consolation; like putting a little salve on a major sucking chest wound.
I’m still mad. I hate guns. I love how Obama’s reprinting the Constitution sans Bill of Rights second amendment that’ll be hitting the newsstands any day now.
But the Obama ad with that Obama gun shooting visual that Obama ordered the American people not to use in any shape way or form sticks royally in my craw.
Obama is bettering America with a whole new set of leftists laws. I hear the new ObamaConstituion will be perfect for framing.
Believe you me, the sooner we get guns out of the hands of Americans, the safer the progressive left will be.
An armed America is a dangerous America.
The only alternative is to produce Drones like we were on a war footing. And kill every hostile from Sea Cliff, NY to Huntington Beach, Ca and beyond.
Hitler disarmed the German public. Obama needs to do the same.

I keep looking for the /sarc tag, or perhaps a link to the Onion.
Not having observed either, I think this comment is ample evidence for the wisdom of the Second Amendment, as this kind of warped thinking seems to me to be prevalent within our government at this moment in time.
The Second’s true purpose is to stand as a final bulwark against the tyranny of the state, a tyranny that is showing its new found plumage – proud as a peacock, you might say.

C’mon, man, do you need a /sarc tag? It was clearly dripping with sarcasm.
Wow, I am awestruck …
Very well done. And it will be of no surprise that John Brennan is being outed as a muslim convert.
Very well played, D. Kos. You almost had me going until the last sentence of your rant. You are a master of sarcasm. I take my imaginary hat off to you.
Personally, I’m really encouraged by this photo and what it represents. Obama would not be trying to assuage the fears of gun owners if he thought he could steamroll them. Nothing would give him more pleasure than to stick it to those “bitter clingers” in the most in-your-face way possible. The fact that he’s resorting to doing stuff like this, and that it is not working, is extremely encouraging. It means we have them scared and on the run on this issue. They’re finally realizing that things aren’t going according to the script, there was no “sea change” in American attitudes after Newton and the election that would carry their agenda through on a wave on hope and change. Now is the time to keep the pressure on, to make the Dems truly feel the pain and burn it into their memory so hard that they finally understand for decades that gun control is not on the menu.
If I were President, I would skeet shoot with a machine gun.
The Obamaites have done us a great service. They have conclusively demonstrated that, in their minds, complex, thoughtful debate about Constitutional rights can be trumped with a snapshot of dubious origin. As such, they have confirmed their creation of, belief in, and willingness to propagate the Imperial Presidency in which opposition (a natural and normal function of a republic i.e. a system lacking a monarch or dictator) is not only resented but actively suppressed. Legitimate achievements do not, have not, and will not ever require an army of sycophants to tell us about Glories The President Hath Wrought yet this kind of PR accompanies EVERY action (including the many anticonstitutional ones). In their desperation to exalt Obama, they fail to see (or perhaps don’t care) that this constant effusive praise is a form of ‘crying wolf’ which yields ever-diminishing returns. If this president ever did achieve a concrete result (doubtful, of course, and a scary prospect) would anyone recognize it? We’ve had 5 years of a White House desperately waiting for slight random fluctuations in market conditions (oil, employment, stocks) they might attribute to Obama. Of course, random changes are just that. Meanwhile, the economy has held its breath for a remarkable four solid years. This, more than any trifling popularity poll, is a clear indication of how the productive sector of society views Obama: distrust at best, dread at worst. A punk kid yelling from his mother’s front porch is an annoyance; a president with that kid’s equally naive view of business and economics is a threat when the object of his scorn can expect no help from the two other branches of government or indeed the law itself.
But back to the PR front. The White House and MSM are almost quaint in their methods. In an age of 24/7 high-definition full-motion video, they believe a single still photo, mercilessly cropped and handed down with the usual accompanying threats (they just can’t help themselves) will end all dissent. It’s as if it’s 1962 again and a still shot of Bobby & Jack looking pensive somehow compensates for the mess they have been making otherwise. Half a century later, the anachronism known as the White House Press Corps continues to spin myths, ignoring the slight inconvenience that nobody believes them.
Trust me, Dear Readers, we’re in the midst of a political-social Revolution right now on the same scale as the sexual Revolution of the 1960′s-70′s. If it feels good, DO it.
It’s now the tail wagging the dog with the mobs of uneducatable, uneducated, affirmative actioned, entitlement seeking [and obtaining] claques who’ve been rather brilliantly organized by the likes of those on the Democrat Obama election committee, and again successfully on the Obama re-election committee.
Sensible, thinking, genuinely worrying folks, those who are actually thinking and worrying about the future on non-partisan, pragmatic terms are now vastly outnumbered, and hence will be vastly out-voted in future elections.
There is no turning back now, their momentum is gaining. Immigration “reform” is a politically correct joke, a very, very sad joke; but vastly benefiting the shallow likes of those now ensconced in our White House by empowering ever larger new groups of voters eager to “git” even more out of the “guvmint”. Who can blame those impoverished Latins wanting entry to the great golden piles across that Rio Grande? …and fertilizing for “anchor babies”?
Ask them what they will do when they run out of other peoples’ money [Cf: Margaret Thatcher]and they’ll only shrug and say, “Man, that’s not my problem”…….but the alarming tragedy is that these great new mobs cannot accept, don’t want to accept, are unable to accept, education and reason. And, of course it IS their problem.
The mob’s attention span has evaporated.
Sometimes its useful to see the Obama voter up close and personal
These people are steps above the “Obama’s gonna pay my rent and my gas and my children’s healthcare with Obama Money” crowd.
This underscores the fact that our form of gov’t was designed for a well-informed, relatively well-educated populace. Our country is now home to a majority that is neither of these things. It’s really no small wonder why we have a veritable clown posse running our federal gov’t. As things are now, with the country fettered by so many low-info voters, the wonderful experiment that produced our great country is now over; it’s just a matter of time before our nation goes asunder. I just hope I don’t live to see it but fear that my son surely will.
And at the time of the Founders, American literacy was higher than it is today. And nearly everyone learned to read from the King James Bible … sigh …
Oh, come on! There were a lot less people here then. And some of them were slaves, and there were laws then making it illegal to teach a slave how to read.
That almost-absent attention span and mob mentality can still turn against their Gummint’ Masters, of course. It’s fine for some Peon from Guadalajara to say, “it’s not my concern,” but shortly all the money will run out, regardless of his opinion.
At which point mobs, coming to the awful realization that Le Roi has bankrupted the nation, have an awful tendency to turn on the hand that once fed them. I would not want to be a Democrat politician when that day arrives, nor would I wish to be the spokesman who tells them the Gravy-Train has ended.
Trouble is, it is the adults who always have to tell the children that it is a mess and then clean it up. Of course, the children blame the adults for the mess. I’ve tried to clean up after Democrat messes in my State twice and was invited to a third time. The first two times I got trashed for saying it was a mess and trashed and threatened for trying to clean up the mess. The third time I was on the mayor’s transition team as he prepared to take over from a union-owned Democrat. I wrote him the best description of the mess that I could, laid out some necessary steps towards cleaning up, wished them luck, and got out of there on the next plane.
Just on the labor relations front, it will take a decade or more to fix the messes a union-owned Democrat administration makes. In 1986 the Legislature refused to fund the third year increases in our major labor agreements. The Democrat Governor tried to ease his union friends’ pain with all sorts of give-aways that he didn’t have to report to the Legislature for approval, or at least that was the CW at the time. When I retired in mid-2006, we still hadn’t been able to get all that crap out of all of the agreements. When we had a two-term Democrat governor in the ’90s and early ’00s, the Legislature had a much more sophisticated understanding of the bargaining law and its powers – plus they had me working for them for three years of that Administration. That Democrat was much less able to put IEDs in the labor agreements but they savaged the structural processes of the government in the guise of “streamlining” and “re-engineering” it. When a Democrat says words like that, it means he’s repealing all the internal rules to make it safe for Democrats to hire who they want, move money around as they want, give contract to who they want, and throw money to their friends without violating silly laws and rules. They immediately run off or neuter all the experienced merit system managers and technocrats immediately below the political appointees, the people who know the rules and try to keep the government running as smoothly and honestly as possible. In most governments, people at this level have not only the right but the duty to just say no to the directives of political management of that directive violates rule or law. So, Democrats just get rid of them either leaving the position open, putting in a Democrat hack, or just some kid who’ll do as he’s told and not even know he’s doing wrong. After eight years of that things that had once just happened as if by magic didn’t happen at all because nobody even knew it was supposed to happen or knew how to make it happen. We had to start at the desk manual level to get things to any regularized functions because everything just ran by rote. I came back to the Executive Branch in ’99, six years into that administration, as a supervisor charged with re-building the labor relations function that the Democrats had destroyed but had learned that they couldn’t give their union friends enough to keep them off their backs and out of their buildings. When I retired in ’06, after five and a half years, I had been able to rebuild a staff that could do pretty much anything that needed to be done competently, but five and a half years wasn’t nearly long enough to build up a staff that knew what to do. Organizational culture is extremely fragile and easily destroyed. Once destroyed it is all but impossible to really rebuild. The Obamunists are doing a very thorough job of destroying America’s organizational culture.
The left in Britain still chant ‘It’s all Thatcher’s fault!’ when anything goes wrong, even though she was the one cleaning up the mess they made of the country in the seventies, and they ran the country for much of the last two decades. Had she not been elected, they would be living in a third-world country today rather than just racing down the slope toward it.
Yes, the aspect of Organizational culture is key. I have worked in Operations for many years now, I understand precisely what you mean.
However, Americans still (to whatever extent we still do) are “take charge” kind of people. I suspect we’d find a way to put things back together.
Perhaps I am merely being too hopeful?
Like a typical narcissist, Obama can dish it out but can’t take it. Remember how he flipped the bird to Hillary in the 2008 and the sheeple loved it? the god and guns slight? and countless other jibes and put downs? Turn it back on him and he’ll go nuts as will the majority of the other leftist loonies.
Something else funny: the leftist comedians who thrived on mocking Bush (and one D-listed made a career of mocking Palin then her daughters from oldest to youngest) and this was considered high art. Now they rage at any insult against Obama. Family Guy mocked Bush and even Clinton but no Obama. Robot Chicken mocked Bush and his people but no Obama. Then maybe they have since I stopped watching those shows regularly a long time ago.
Was that the Robot Chicken episode where Old Lady Barbara Bush turned into a monster and gruesomely killed the assassins who came after the first George?
The claim that the mighty O’s shooting stance is incorrect is simply absurd, IMHO. Why, he is constantly surrounded by Secret Service agents who are “trained in the art of war”. They are likely the ones who handed Zero the gun and helped position his muliebrous fingers properly on that vicious clay-killing apparatus. Oh, wait a minute! I’ve got it! It’s a conspiracy! Perhaps there are still some red-blooded American left in the Service, ones who are not shortchanging Colombian ladies of the night, for example. Knowing what O was up to, they decided to have a little fun and said “Mr President, this is how a bitter clinger holds his gun.”
Robert F, I think you’re right. It would have been very easy for a member of the Secret Service to show Obama how to hold a shotgun, and how to position his body right. I think they let him make a fool of himself on purpose.
In his memoir Fear No Evil, Jewish Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky recounts the mind games the KGB played with him as they tried to entrap him in “confessions” of treason.
Decades ago, in an interview in Time magazine, Sharansky laid out the idea that while his Soviet jailers could imprison his body, they could never imprison his mind, that his freedom was in tact regardless of his circumstances.
I’ve recalled that many times over the years.
Right now our politically correct thought police in America would dearly love to imprison our minds, or, at the very least, our speech.
great article …thanks
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
Saul Alinsky: Tactics.
“Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.” –Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky.
It’s about time, maybe past that “time” to use Alinsky tactics against one that Obama learned his lesson well.
Another student of Saul: Hillary Clinton.
Right you are. Mizz Clinton’s college thesis was on Alinsky.
I dont know about you, but I’ve never seen smoke like that come out of a shotgun. It’s smokeless powder, remember.
Its a fraud.
Damn. Forgot somethin’..

“We are at a crossroads. Such photo-op releases — like those of Russian President Vladimir Putin bare-chested outdoors on horseback — with strategically timed taunts and warnings, as well as claims to having a “truth team,” are signs of desperation.”
Well, when it comes to Putin and Obama, great minds of petty tyrants usually think alike. Nice to see that Obama is taking a page out of the Russian propoganda play book, but, then again, Anita Dunn and her malignant cronies did the same thing at the White House during Obama’s first four years. Remember their jihad against FOX News, going even so far as to threaten to throw FOX News out of the White House press pool? Yes, good times, good times. The way this administration has an enemy’s list and is determined to destroy their critics would put Nixon to shame, and it does. And when you have a mainstream media willing to carry water for lowlifes like this, it just shows you how effective state-run propaganda is. It is up to us to stop it and I just hope that there are a few press people still out there who are willing to chase a real story, like what actually happened in Benghazi, rather than lay down and play dead for this thug from Chicago.
He’s not a thug so much as he is a punk. A thug has something to be feared. A punk, though a troublemaker will eventually get his ears pinned back. Once a punk, always a punk.
As to state-run media, it is only effective if one pays any attention. The next thing that works hand-in-hand with mockery is ignoring the whole thing. I stopped watching/listening to mainstream anything years ago. It has done wonders for my disposition. By going to such sites as this, which, by revealing the truth about despotic rulers, is yet another form of mockery. In other words, if we all know the truth that they are so desperately trying to conceal, then they have lost.
The only thing I wish for is a sit-down interview, preferably with the interviewee in prison, about all the easy-to-answer-but-direct questions aimed squarely between his eyes. You know, like the way a cop would ask a perp who the hell he thinks he is.
Such a day will never come. Despotic leaders of nations have ways of avoiding reality and the direct inquisition of the people they’ve destroyed. I will slowly watch the days and when the GDP of this once great nation is in the negative numbers and we are all wondering why we can’t see a doctor, I will weep.
However, we have seen some pretty dark times here in the U.S. and have managed to recover. Sadly, I, like many others, may have to endure great hardship so that the coming generations may prosper but this courting communism cannot be left to expand. I mock this man every chance I get. I tell black people all the time “That’s because Obama is an assh*le.” and the looks I get thrill me. From stark anger to wide-eyed amazement.
Then I tell them what I used to tell black enlistees in the military…”No..it has nothing to do with his color…see because black people can be assh*les too.”
Again with the looks and I smile. Then come the remarks of racism. I reply, “I said nothing racist. I don’t despise him because he’s black…but if that’s what it takes for you to understand it, then ok. But using race to describe him is like using the color of a car to explain why it was in violation of the law.”
That usually results in furrowed brows.
“You go home and think about that…when you figure it out, let me know.”
Because you can’t win with them. They operate under what I call “feel-think” rather than “brain-think”. Their emotions lead their actions.
But even those who think they are being cared for will have an epiphany. The dawning will come and they will wonder why they will be forced to give up their phone and their free house and their EBT cards when the money runs out. And it will.
We know it..and they don’t yet…but they will. Sadly, I and many former middle-class Americans will already be broke when that day comes.

Lotta trolls though.
I think that obama intentionaly releases these staged/photoshopped pictures and birth certificates so that they will be attacked. He holds the shotgun like a rifle(because he thinks that’s how it’s done), aims at nothing, and has the smoke(black powder?) photoshopped to show he actually fired it. He’s not so much of an idiot to not know it will be picked apart. but, there are enough idiots on the left that don’t know it’s staged and see this as an attack by birthers.
Hell, even his birth certificate could have started out as a legit document and then chopped up and pasted back together so that it too would be picked apart by critics. He could have ended the whole birther deal by admitting what was written about him as a writer was where it all started. One day we’ll get to know if he used the whole born in Africa thing to get his tuition paid by taxpayers.
You people! Obviously, you have not read the liberal manual for skeet shooting! The unpaid intern was holding the clay pigeon the prescribed 8 inches from the end of the barrel. Unfortunately, when jerked the trigger the muzzle dipped a bit, but the target was still destroyed. The intern is recovering nicely with little impairment. None of her “Lady Parts” were damaged, so she is fully functional for liberal purposes. Additionally, she is being retrained to be left-handed.
The only “dip” here is the guy with the jug-ears and wearing the granny pants.
They’ve ALWAYS cried conspiracy, and most times a significant percentage of the sane have fallen for it. Let me ask the group here: who is Linda Jordan? Is she a conspiracy nut?
Specifically, who are the “They” you are referring to? What is your experience with firing a gun? Do you have any experience with skeet shooting? Obama’s history of lots of show, while being present and ending with nothing to show, gives reason to wonder.
You need to get to the range. Better yet, since you likely never will, just watch some youtube videos of skeet shooting. Pay close attention to the “smoke” in those videos. P.H.O.T.O.S.H.O.P.P.E.D is what the O photo was. No question.
Here’s an apt fidelic and faithful rendering of a modern historical event in progress. In this piece from the Economist a corrupt American government official cries “Conspiracy”! And yet, as was proved a few months later, when some wheels of justice still operated, he himself was the chief conspirator and also the murderer. He and his cronies killed a very good man.
http://www.economist.com/node/1012051
People never recognize History when they’re living it. And that’s happened all through history.

Frankly, I wish Obama would spend more time shooting. He would have less time then to screw up our country.
He still hasn’t responded to my challenge to shoot a game.
Yeah and somebody should show him the incorrect way to carry a loaded firearm
while climbing over a fence. Maybe he’ll have an accident…We can always hope.
What you didn’t see in the photo was the clay pigeon tied down to the ground as Obama missed it by 100 feet.
It was nothing more than a photo op probably shot a while back just to use in this type of instance. “See?. We’re just like you.” As he and his family jet off to yet another multi-million dollar ‘get away’ sponsored by those of us that actually pay income taxes.
It is a sign of your (all of you) self-importance that you think your ridicule bothers President Obama or makes any difference. You compare yourselves to dissidents in other countries. Bah.
Obama has been attacked and vilified since he started running for president. The Republican Party’s only goal over the last four years was to cause Obama to fail. How did that work out? Do you really think photoshopping the president in short shorts is insightful political commentary? Well, knock yourselves out.
I think you are mistaken. The ridicule was never intended to bother President Obama. It was intended to ridicule his supporters. And it appears to have worked.
In spite of Obama’s own mocking of pretty much anyone who’s of a conservative bent, I submit that you are a drooling fool for wishing you could be just like the guy.
This is also testimony to the fact that he’s a childish prig. I’m afraid you’ll have to look that up. No, I didn’t say “prick” though that euphemism applies to him as well.
Bother him? I don’t care if it does or not. If it does, so much the better because, in your terms, his success is the failure of this nation. Republicans need not help him in that arena as he’s doing fine in destroying pretty much everything.
Dumping money into “green” corporations–how have republicans made him fail in that? Seems to me that it’s its own self-perpetual motion machine; Find a useless endeavor to throw money at and watch the money disappear.
Getting involved in local law enforcement activity? What national leader does that except in third-world countries?
Calling people names. Now…I have to admit, he’s really done a bang-up job on that. The list is very long on his little not-so-clever smart-ass-isms.
If he’s your hero then I suggest you study the man more carefully. And I mean that in the strict academic sense, the way colleges used to tell undergrads to do it; By reading the material that denigrates as well as praises. I suspect you’ve only read the latter.
He is a communist trying to function in a representative republic and he doesn’t like it. And his uptake on how the United States government works is patently false.
He is also a liar. He is a cheater. He is a fool.
“The Republican Party’s only goal over the last four years was to cause Obama to fail. How did that work out?”
Actually it worked out pretty well. After 2010 the teeth of the beast were pulled. No more big ticket legislation like Obamacare, no more “hope and change”. Obama’s right where I want him; in a perfect position to reap what he’s sown over the last 4 years without the power to do much about it. Look at him rail impotently about gun control, he can no longer unilaterally use his party to force his policies on the country and it’s driving him nuts. The fact that he had to release a picture like this in a desperate ploy to appease his critics is not a position of strength, and his approval numbers are taking a beating. The Republican party does not need to destroy Obama, they merely need to contain him and allow him to destroy himself.
The Republican Party’s only goal over the last four years was to cause Obama to fail.
If only that were true.
If by “cause Obama to fail” you mean “to stop him from destroying the country” then go team go.
If by “cause Obama to fail” you mean “to insure he makes horrendous decisions for America” then he needs no help. It’s the one thing we KNOW he does well. That, and of course “vacation”. He vacations well.
Yes, I know he vacations well. And often. But does Dear Leader (Bless His Heart and May Peace Be Upon Him) have to keep coming back?
Anti-Christ, anyone? It’s so clear at this time of global totalitarian over-reach, global economic manipulation, and epic-scale corruption, that something quite out of the ordinary is taking place.
Number Three.
I thought the Antichrist is supposed to be brilliant and manipulative. Obama is dumber than a bucket of rocks, and his handlers are a bunch of educated fools. Is this the best the Dark Forces can come up with?
The future can not belong to those who would Photoshop the POTUS Obama
This subterfuge is the same game the Obama administration played with the Natural Born issue.
Originally, the BIG question wasn’t whether-or-not Obama was born in Hawaii, the big question was whether-or-not an American citizen born with Dual Citizenship and of a non-citizen, non-resident father from Kenya on a just school visa, qualified as a Natural Born Citizen as originally intended by Our Founding Fathers.
In order to distract the masses from latching onto this question, the Obama administration made Obama’s Birth Certificate the central issue and then began ridiculing as “Birthers” and tin-foil hatters anyone who even mentioned the words, “Natural Born Citizenship.”
Naturally, the original, legitimate question as to whether-or-not a Dual Citizen qualifies as a Natural Born Citizen, has been buried. And, pity the fool who even thinks about asking the SCOTUS to please clarify this question for everyone.
Cheers!
Correction: “on a just school visa” should be, “on JUST a school visa”
It appears Obama hasn’t been exactly forthright about his stance on guns. According to a report yesterday in the Daily Rash, when reporters in Minneapolis asked the president if he planned to surrender his skeet shooting gun as a symbol of his solidarity with gun control advocates he said, “I’ll give up my gun when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.” http://www.thedailyrash.com/obama-ill-give-up-my-shotgun-when-they-pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands
Did he really say that? If he did, then it’s a mega-stupid quote on his part. Who is going to pry a gun out of the “cold dead hands” of the most powerful leader on Earth, who is surrounded by an army of armed protectors? Does he really think the American people are that dumb??
Skeet shooting with obama? That clown wouldn’t let anyone with a loaded gun near his worthless carcASS.
Damn, I hadn’t thought of that. It sure would be easy
for a shooting partner to stumble and fall in front of him
creating an accidental discharge. How come accidents never seem to happen to those most deserving of them?
Yeah, maybe somebody will pull a Dick Cheney on him.
Petty rulers do not appreciate fun.
“Progressivism” has increasingly taken on the aspects of a religion…and people do not like the symbols of their religion, in this case Barack Obama, to be mocked.
One of the reasons why separation of Church and State is important is to avoid giving too much reverence to people who have secular power.
The most devastating thing you can do to a narcissist is ignore them. Could it be that this photo was released by Obama’s handlers, with the admonition not to photo shop, simply to generate some attention for the Star-In-Chief to perk up his sagging spirits before his SOTU address on Tuesday? After all, he didn’t exactly score in his latest tussle with the The House. He’s rather like a Hollywood actress of old, all ego and no substance, and must be petted and soothed to prepare for the next performance.
Don’t watch the SOTU. Actually, starve the beast completely – don’t watch TV at all. We unplugged after the election. Fired Comcast. You’ll be amazed how good you feel with the boob tube gone. It’s great.
Ol Jugears having his minions photoshop him firing a supposed skeet shotgun, then banging his sippy cup against his high chair telling us not to “alter” an already-altered photograph? Priceless.
Quit your whinging, Odumbo.
When photoshopping is outlawed, only narcissistic juvenile little lord fauntleroy arrogant leaders will have photoshoppings…
I will give up my photoshop after it’s pried from my dead, cold fingers.
How about this: BO’s little face replacing that of the leader of the planet of the apes in the poster from the movie. (The Heston character kneels in the sand at the buried statue of liberty.)
I never shot skeet myself, are they tasty?
I’ve skeeted quite a few times.
I believe the past tense of “skeet” is “skat.” Yes?
skat is a musical term, skeet in the urban dictionary denotes something entirely different.
and “scatology” is a psychiatric term that is an entirely different and very nasty can of worms. But I ain’t going there.
<>
Yeah, but that’s just because he doesn’t like hanging out with women.
Let’s try this again without the French quotes.
“Obama did not take up Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn’s challenge to a skeet shoot.”
Yeah, but that’s just because he doesn’t like hanging out with women.
I just can’t believe that he believes that we believe anything he believes.
Little Barry in his lust for Gore, nailed a baby to the door.
Valerie said in manner quaint,
“Careful Barry, you’ll mar the paint.
And here I was thinking some wit had finally nicknamed the Big Zero ‘Skeeter.’ I mean, it does fit. He’s a flimsy thing with a really annoying voice. He seems to have no other purpose in life than to suck the blood out of people, leaving nothing to show for it but an itchy bump (and sometimes a nasty, or even fatal, disease). And he’s inordinately difficult to swat.
All I could think of is this scene from History of the World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk47saogI8o
Obama’s too lazy to shoot a shotgun; He assigns a drone to shoot his skeet.
“While Obama and his inner circle pride themselves on their lack of drama and their tendency not to overreact to the political winds that buffet Washington … they have repeatedly shown a keen awareness of and concern for issues that would have likely been considered beneath most past administrations.”
Translation: They’re thin-skinned as hell.
Sharpen your knives of wit, and let the mockery proceed apace!
The best take-off of Barack Obama’s skeeting photo
was not just a photoshopped image, but a video!
“Complete with compositing, motion tracking and synthetic voice-acting.
And guns firing, and explosions. And little birds singing too.”

The facts certainly do speak rather loudly for themselves about this presidency. Millions of Americans have been added to welfare rolls, food stamps, unemployment lines (not counting the ones who have simply given up and are living in their parents’ basement). The upcoming visit to Israel will provide even more grandiose deception: the American president and Israeli prime minister despise one another. How will the former accept the latter’s insistence that Israelis aren’t interested in national suicide and completely distrust the most anti-semitic administration in American history? No doubt the American mission will be delighted with the reasoned approach offered by the Holocaust denier, mahmoud abbas, that Israel simply needs to be more reasonable and withdraw to, let’s see, the coastline.

Obama the skeet shooter…
OK, so he got elected and re-elected…but Obama and his handlers have gone to extreme measures to hide his real background. He’s an enigma; a creation of slick marketing. How much do we really know about him? What did he ever do in life beyond having two books about himself ghost-written, books that do not and cannot put forth any accomplishments…merely collections of his own thoughts and fantasies. Even the birth certificate is highly questionable!
As PT Barnum said, “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can’t can’t fool all the people all the time”.
The “Skeeter” may be running out of people he can fool…
Obama the skeet shooter…sure…right…
When the photo of the president shooting skeet was initially published, the idea of photoshop never entered my mind. The photo looked authentic enough. Now, the “skeet” part is something altogether different. I couldn’t see any skeet range at the angle of the photo. If he was indeed shooting skeet, it’s obvious that he is doing everything wrong.
That begs the question. If our overachiever president wants to shoot skeet ‘all the time” why doesn’t he, as Commander in Chief, have one of the award winning members of the All Marine Skeet Team come over and give a few pointers. After all, what commander will say no to that request. It’s kind of telling
I lived through the “flower power” geneartion but I never would have believed that my country would end up this way:-(
I think you all miss the point. Obama’s people didn’t distribute this photograph to show how macho he is. He is already re-elected and can’t run for a third term.
Obama was photographed firing a shotgun to show that despite the efforts he will make to support and introduce gun control he is still a red-blooded American who supports gun ownership. Not quite red blooded enough to be photographed hunting.
One must wonder was the gun he brought to the knife fight was for shooting clay targets.
Marxist Democrats have already set the stage for an approaching Secession and the division of the old and once-free USA into two more more separate nations, the new ones governened by the original constitution.
Obama can be praised for making things so awful that such a thing can happen.
