Not long after President Obama mentioned that he goes skeet shooting rather regularly when at Camp David and the White House released a photo of the president skeet shooting were multiple conspiracies born via right-wing media outlets. What were some of these conspiracy theories? Allow me to share them with you...
Michael Harlin, writer for The American Thinker (obviously that's not the case, but anyway...), had the following to say - "Now, what's wrong with the president's picture? First the weapon is nearly level to the ground. Can't be skeet shooting, nor likely trap either."
Yes, because with tensions near and far to worry about, the first thing on President Obama's mind is to photoshop a picture of him skeet shooting or to lie about skeet shooting. President's priority list is as follows:
1) Improve the economy
2) End the war in Afghanistan
3) Convince the country he goes skeet shooting while at Camp David
Mr. Harlin had more to say about the subject, when he wrote:
"I suppose it could happen, but in my fifty years of shooting a shotgun, skeet, trap, and hunting, including double barrel muzzle loading black powder shotguns, I have never once seen a smoke pattern like that. Smoke going straight out the barrel is normal, but what the heck is that second smoke stream shooting behind and away from the barrel?"
It's smoke from a bong, obviously. How does Mr. Harlin think Obama seems to keep so cool most of the time? He's obviously smoking good quality, government-regulated ganja with great frequency...for medicinal purposes of course.
Harlin wasn't done there. He also said this - "It is evident that the President has never shot a shotgun before as his stance is leaning slightly backward. Look at the position of his torso to his legs. Skeet or trap shooters never do this. They lean slightly forward like a boxer in the ring."
Mr. Harlin is really onto something. Checking out President Obama so much and giving fine detail to his legs and torso, I'm thinking Michael Harlin wishes he could get on the president - yes, I mean that literally. Perhaps after doing this (and as he fantasizes about every night), Mr. Harlin could fine-tune President Obama's gun skills by handling the president's gun himself and showing him how to master that fine tool without letting it go off too quickly.
Rick Davenport of the Erie County Sportsmen's Federation said the following about skeet-shooting-gate to the New York Post:
"That looks pretty pathetic. That's not skeet shooting. In skeet shooting, you're either shooting high or you're shooting low! This is nothing but pandering to the sportsmen and hunters."
Right... President Obama's #1 goal for his second term was to win the vote of a demographic he's not popular with - sportsmen and hunters, for a possible third-term election which is never going to happen... That reminds me of that make-believe time when a man, set to retire in a week, was working his boss extra diligently for a raise, longer hours, and a promotion.
Emily Miller, Senior Editor of the Washington Times opinion pages, wrote the following on her Facebook page - "The Obama skeet shooting photo looks odd to me because the clays come high or low, not straight."
Alright, so let the truth be known - Obama was shooting lions, tigers, bears, and birds that looked like Dick Cheney. PETA is going to be more pissed than a librarian at a Metallica concert!
John Nolte wrote the following on Breitbart's Big Journalism blog:
"He's shooting straight ahead, which means that there's either a barn door somewhere in need of some patching, or Obama is such an awesome skeet shooter, he hits them as they come out of the firing device. I keed, I keed. There are legitimate reasons that would explain the angle of his gun, but..."
...but let's ignore those reasons and focus on conspiracies which are about as worthwhile as if I were to make one up centering around Mitt Romney's looking at what many would deem to be an attractive male speaker. This would result in a highly scientific, unbiased blog entry, which would say the following - "The way Romney looked at that male speaker really makes me wonder. No man looks at another man like that unless he's completely covered in bacon. Yeah, Mitt Romney is obviously gay."
A conservative blogger at littlebytesnews also joined the party, as he (or she or it) wrote - "What a joke, this is a little better photoshop then the first one, but it sill looks odd to me. The arms don't look right and I don't recall Obama having a little potbelly??"
I'm thinking the bigger joke is this person being a news-blogger. I counted at least five grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors in just a span of two sentences. Well done, sir/ma'am/whatever! Well done! I hope you "sill" write news-oriented blogs for many years to come...
Far right-wing blog Push Back Now wrote - "Weapon too high on shoulder. Aim too low for skeet. No barrel rise or recoil that would result in camera blur, even in video."
What is the URL for this conservative blog? Cavemenblog.com? "Weapon too high on shoulder Aim too low for skeet. No barrel rise or recoil that would result in camera blur, even in video." I wonder how they described the result of the 2012 presidential election. I imagine the eloquent summary would go something like this - "Obama more votes than Romney. Obama win. Romney lose. Obama four more years. Romney go home. Sucks."
I wonder what percentage of the people in this country have any care about this. In neither of his presidential election victories did I vote for Obama because deep down, I thought, "You know what? I think this guy could be an excellent skeet shooter up at Camp David." I care about as much of a presidential candidate's skeet-shooting capabilities as I do about his or her having done the hokey pokey while rollerskating and saying "that's what it's all about."
