bonnie Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 For those that dismiss because of Fox News,there are several articles out there questioning the honesty in this trivial pursuit as in so many other less than truthful answers. Is he hard wired to lie or what is it Obama goes 'skeet shooting all the time'? Hardly ever, sources say By Jana Winter Published January 30, 2013 Jan. 29, 2013: President Obama waves to reporters as he walks on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. (AP) 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. The White House did not immediately respond to FoxNews.com's request for comment. Obama professed his sweetness for skeet shooting during an interview posted online Sunday with The New Republic, when asked if he had ever fired a gun. "Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," Obama said. "Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there. And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake." His comments were met with surprise by many, including skeptical lawmakers who challenged the president to a skeet shooting match. The press, too, tried to squeeze more details out of White House spokesman Jay Carney. "I'm not sure how often he's done that," said Carney, who said no photos of the president skeet shooting had been released "because when he goes to Camp David, he goes to spend time with his family and friends and relax, not to produce photographs." "There may be (a photo)," he said, "but I haven't seen it." Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/.../#ixzz2JbBXc2Y9 Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
joeb Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 It's pretty amazing. There seems to be nothing, however trivial or important, about which he won't be dishonest. I figure he's, by far, the most dishonest politician we've ever elected to the Presidency. The only way to know this guy is to watch what he does over a period of time. Listening to what he says will soon have your head spinning in circles. Quote Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.Alexis de Tocqueville
OzarkWoman Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Basically, if his mouth is open he is lying. Whatever he says, the opposite is most likely the truth. Quote
Narcah Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 In all honesty he didn't say "I got skeet shooting all the time." He said "We" and then went on to explain that his guests often go up there. I would challenge him to a skeet match, if I wasn't afraid he'd miss and shoot me. He's lied about bigger things... Quote -Jason Youtube.com/narcah
Ted Oplinger Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I think it is a pathological condition. He lies so he can be the center of the conversation, to distract people away from what he's doing, to deny accountability..the list goes on. His past is sealed, so that America won't know he's a complete fraud from beginning to end. What is going to say when he must confront his life before the throne of God? While he a quite a loathsome person, the agony he will suffer in having to honestly be accountable for his life, and being unable to lie his way out, is a pitiful sight to think of. Blessings, Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J.

joeb Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I was listening to the Dennis Miller show on radio this morning. A gun club owner called in and identified the shotgun Obama was shooting as the type of shotgun used to teach children how to shoot a shotgun. Remember the puff of smoke leaving the barrel of the shotgun at a 90 degree angle to the barrel? That's from a hole drilled in the barrel to reduce the level of the kick of the shotgun to that which a child can withstand. He also listed about 10 or 12 mistakes Obama makes in holding the shotgun itself that shows he his a rank beginner and cannot possibly be shooting skeet for real. The reason he says Obama can not possibly be shooting skeet is from the angle of the barrel. If he was shooting skeet it would be pointing in a much higher trajectory as the pellets from that shotgun cannot reach more than 30 yards due to pressure relief built into the barrel to reduce the kick. Thus he can't be shooting at a target on the way down as it would be beyond the range of the shotgun at that point in the target's trajactory. The fact that Obama is using a child's gun is proof enough for me that he does not shoot skeet on a regular basis. I have to say that even to me his stance looked really bad, and I'mm not a shotgun/skeet shooter. I've shot rifles a fair amount though and you couldn't hit a thing holding a rifle that way.

OzarkWoman Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 It was just another of the volume of lies that Obama tells daily, byt the minute anymore. It didn't take anyone that shoots to know that the picture was either a lie or that Obama has no idea how to handle a shotgun. Quote
