Visual confirmation of Obama skeet shooting at last!

I was willing to take the word of the unnamed friend of an anonymous witness on faith, because I am now an associate member of the Washington journalistic community, but at last – weeks after Barack Obama’s risible pander to gun owners by claiming he, or more accurately “we,” shoot skeet at Camp David “all the time” – the White House has coughed up a photo of the President firing a shotgun at something.

Wow, look at all that heroic discharge!  Check out those mom jeans!  Clearly we must surrender the Second Amendment if this spiritual descendant of Chuck Connors demands it.  We’re just lucky he didn’t take out a low-orbiting satellite by accident.

This photo supposedly dates from August 4, 2012.  Why it took the largest, most tech-savvy White House political team in history so long to uncover it remains a mystery.  No, I don’t see a date stamp either, but shame on you for asking.  Also, I don’t want to hear any bellyaching that one photo hardly substantiates the impression of “shooting all the time” that the President wanted to convey.  The Gun Controller in Chief obviously knows his way around firearms, so that’s that.  Good thing that rifle didn’t have any scary-looking black plastic features, or we’d have to bust him for using an “assault weapon,” and this photo would cause the soccer moms to weep in terror instead of swooning.
