In a recent interview, President Barack Obama tried to blow off criticism for his gun control push with a revelation of regular firearm use. "Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," he claimed.
As soon as Obama's quote went public, critics expressed incredulity. Fox News' Jana Winter went looking for any eyewitnesses that could corroborate Obama's claim. Winter did find a source who admitted that Obama had once been skeet shooting at Camp David�with the caveat that the President couldn't get away from it fast enough.
Winter's eyewitness told her, "The only time he shot skeet was for President's Cup [a presidential Marine guards competition]. I was there. He stayed for about five minutes, and couldn't leave fast enough."
Winter's source told her skeet shooting is "very hard. Especially for someone not used to guns." The President "couldn't have been more uncomfortable," the individual stated.
While discussion raged over Obama's skeet shooting habits, left-leaning magazine The New Republic tweeted a photo it claimed to show the President holding a rifle at Camp David. The magazine quickly discovered the image was fake and deleted any reference to it.http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/30/Obama-Loves-Skeet-Shooting-Not-Likely

the kenyan's assertion that he shoots skeet is so obviously a lie, that I am surprised that anyone gave it any credibility at all.
Come to think of it, virtually everything out of that guys's mouth is a lie.

The guy can't even throw a baseball, and he thinks we believe he shoots skeet?

Why doesn't Wayne LaPierre offer to teach him how to shoot. I bet the President would enjoy himself, just like all recreational shooters do.

D@mn, what an opportune time for an accidental discharge. A little plausable deniability, eh? Works all the time in politics.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

I'm surprised he didn't say he had a fine skeet dinner after the shoot!

When Obama said
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time."
I believe he was telling the truth. He was saying that his guests at Camp David often go skeet shooting (collective "we"), and that he had fired a shot at least once.
I also believe the eyewitness who said that Obama was clesrly uncomfortable around guns and tried to get away from the skeet range ASAP.
Obama clearly needs some range time with an AR-15 and an open mind. Throw some reactive targets in, and he might be hooked. However, Obama's daughters and wife appear to be a lot more normal than Barak is, so they would probably enjoy the shooting sports more than he ever would.

Yeah what an idea, I can hear Wayne right now " Look Barry I get paid 1.7 mill a year to shoot all I want and tell you to pull your head outta your ass, now pay att'n boy or your gonna have an AD". But alas it wouldn't work cause people who shoot allways strive to shoot straight and hit the bull, while Barry O never shoots straight and never comes anywhere close to the mark. Barry O isn't going to enjoy himself till he destroys America. Magnum Man

I think that's why it's being covered on Breitbart and Fox. Not even the usual ballwashers are lining up to support, let alone claim to have seen this. It's an out-and-out lie.
