It’s on: Congresswoman challenges Obama to a skeet shootoff
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined a chorus of skeptics who questioned President Barack Obama’s recent comments about his hobby of skeet shooting, a sport where participants fire shotguns to break airborne clay disks.
“If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why hasn’t he referenced this at any point in time?” Blackburn said Monday on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”
“I tell you what I do think,” she later added. “I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I’ll go skeet shooting with him and I bet I’ll beat him.”

Tennessee is clearly racist.

I mean… my kid sister, who has never handled a weapon in her life could probably outshoot TFG.

If Teh Won handles a shotgun anything like he throws a baseball or rolls a bowling ball, then skeet shooting with him would be extremely hazardous duty.

Like any Beta Male, Obama will decline.

The congresswoman will be too distracted by his mom jeans to shoot straight.

He only shoots Republican skeet.

And another “Special Olympics” performance by the POTUS becomes possible.

Before I cheer for her, what is her stance on amnesty?

I wouldn’t get anywhere near someone from Chicago holding a gun.

I’ll bet Ogabe handling a firearm looks a lot like a Kennedy driving.

Official WH photography of Barky shooting skeets.

The official correction will be coming shortly:
“The president was misquoted recently regarding recreational activities at Camp David. The president actually is an avid snipe hunter, not a skeet shooter.”

Advice for skeet shooters (at the end).
“Don’t retreat, just reload.”

At the next press conference someone needs to ask him what gauge does he prefer to use. He will probably say nine iron.

You are expected to practice gun safety while on the range.
I have yet to see a photo of a Democrat able to keep his/her booger picker off the bang button.
This could be interesting.
I hope the good congresswoman keeps way back of O’Bumbles.

I love Rep. Blackburn, she is great, I hope she is a senator someday, and then who knows?…
When the PHONE DON”T RING, you will know it’s Barach.
In 2010 Obama shoot ed his mouth off about basket ball, but when Scott Brown proposed, “Me & Ayla” vs. “you and the female player of your choice” (Mrs. Obama?) Obama chixed out.
Obama is all talk. Ayla would have flattened him on the courts and he knew it, and made Mrs. Obama look like she was fool, which went against her “physically fit” marketing, with the push ups.
Maybe someone else more brave would take up the challenge, so we can see her do her stuff (Rep. Blackburn.)

$100 dollars says Obama doesn’t even know how to load a shotgun much less release a safety or rack a round into the chamber.

When the President heard there was a “High House” at Camp David – he got pretty excited, thinking he could invite his Choom Gang over for some fun – I understand that he was pretty disappointed to learn that it was part of the Skeet range.
But now that we know he shoots Skeet frequently, I’m sure he’d love to discuss his favorite stations, and how he’s mastered #8.
