In the grand scheme of things, Barack Obama lying about how often he goes skeet shooting may seem like it’s not that big a deal. Politicians lie all the time. People lie all the time. But as evidence of his true character and integrity, it’s actually pretty important. He told a small, easily debunked lie in service of his overall assault on Second Amendment rights. If he’ll lie about such a small thing, why should he be trusted to tell the truth about big things? What else is he lying about?
News of President Obama’s apparently long-secret fondness for skeet shooting came as a surprise to those who say they have witnessed the president’s “awkward” attempts at pinging the (clay) pigeons.
This has only happened with the president at Camp David, at most, a couple of times, according to a source who says he has been to the retreat on a half-dozen visits with Obama.
“The only time he shot skeet was for President’s Cup,” said the source, referring to a shooting competition tradition involving the presidential Marine guards. “I was there. He stayed for about five minutes, and couldn’t leave fast enough.”
Skeet shooting “is very hard,” said the source. “Especially for someone not used to guns … He couldn’t have been more uncomfortable.”
The source said a friend of his recalled Obama skeet shooting one other time at Camp David — very early on in his first term.
Twice. And that’s it.
That’s “all the time” now? Then how would Obama characterize his golfing habit?
Who in heck let him actually hold a loaded gun?
Don’t kid yourself.
Sure, he’s a pansy with a gun, but he’d shoot you in a stone cold second if he could get away with it. All leftists would.
It would be beautiful if this big mouthed oaf somehow happened to blow a foot off while shooting skeet, demonstrating not only his keen intellect but what a clumsy dimwit he is. Obama is qualified to shoot hoops and ride the pine over on the bench.
I don’t want Obama hurting anything worse, though.
The though of Obama as President is nauseating and rancid. The thought of Joe Biden as President is downright terrifying.
Hey, did you hear the one about when Obama and Cheney went skeet shooting? ………….
The thing is, he would have only looked better if he had ginned up a little humility and said “Yeah, I tried skeet shooting down at Camp David; its a tradition to shoot with the Marine guards. Holy crap, was I bad. I’m glad they’re guarding me, and not the other way around.”
Everybody would have had a chuckle, and he would have come off as a good guy. But its just not in him, is it?
Still waiting on the photos. If we can have photos of him watching the Bin Laden raid, we can certainly a pic of the Won trying to hit clay pigeon.
Any word from PETA asking POTUS to outlaw the shooting of defenseless clay pigeons for sport?
Obama thinks that skeet under glass is delicious.
Repeat after me:
If Obama will lie about small things he will lie about big things. If he will lie about big things he will lie about all things.
Except when he is unabashedly being himself then you can take him at his word.
Obama may not shoot skeet, but he’s one hell of a Marx-man.
So what’s next? Lying about his own cancer-stricken mother in order to promote Obamacare and himself?
He can be that low, can he?
“I love skeet. It tastes just like dog.”
Remember how during the 2008 campaign he couldn’t even bowl? And you would hand such an incompetent a loaded weapon?
Those Marines are the bravest guys around.
