by SayUncle links to a story in the New Republic in which Barack Obama says when asked if he has ever fired a gun, “Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time.” To which Tam replies:
Yeah, he was busting clays with Mantei’s girlfriend.
Pics or it didn’t happen, Urkel.
Just like Joe Biden saying he isn’t going to give up his Beretta O/U, Obama saying this to suck up to hunters and skeet/trap shooters just doesn’t ring true. Like someone else commented, the White House Press Office would have released pictures of this a week or two before his press conference outlining his gun control plans.
Follow-up questions if they try to get traction with this nonsense.
Do you own the shotgun you use, or was it purchased by the taxpayers?
Do you intend to buy a shotgun and continue shooting skeet upon your retirement to Hawai'i?
@Matthew: And is it American made?
