Quote:We are pleased the White House has become more forthcoming about this matter, though it does not quite answer the questions concerning the president’s “all the time” language. A reader notes that because Obama said he does skeet shooting “all the time,” perhaps our standard of proof should be higher--such as several photographs. That’s a reasonable point. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/the-white-houses-curious-silence-about-obamas-claim-of-skeet-shooting/2013/01/30/be78bb10-6b35-11e2-95b3-272d604a10a3_blog.html
Quote: On August 4th, president Obama played golf in DC and shot skees in MA. Anyone dumb enough to believe this is dumb enough to get fooled by anyone - http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/04/us-usa-obama-birthday-idUSBRE8730F820120804 Response on Twitter: According to the link you provided (You did read it, didn’t you?) he played golf at Andrews Air Force Base before “taking Marine One to Maryland’s (not Massachusetts) Catoctin Mountains (location of Camp David) in the afternoon.” Flying time to Camp David from Andrews? The distance is 80 miles. Minutes? Now….what was your point?
Quote: Media Follows Obama’s Orders to Mock Skeet-Gate Skeptics Today the White House released a photo that purports to show Obama (love that tucked-in shirt) shooting skeet last August. Except… 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....Because the photo is odd, some are asking perfectly legitimate questions. But not the media. What did the media do? Because the media no longer questions or is skeptical of Power, and instead sees its role as protector of The State, the media mocked those who were skeptical. You see, the media is proud to publicly proclaim that it doesn’t matter if Obama lies. No, really. How depressing to know a White House reporter at a major news outlet doesn't give a "rat's a**" if the president of the United States is lying. The media and the state are now one. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/02/02/Media-Immediately-Follows-White-House-Orders-%20to-Mock-Skeet-Gate-Skeptics
Quote:Now, according to Fox News, sources close to the White House are saying the following: 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.” Lots and lots and LOTS more there--Rap would love it, please DO go there for a while, it'll keep you out of our hair and you can have a ball without your like-thinking idjits! http://www.conservativeunderground.com/forum505/showthread.php?54592-Skeetgate-Obama-lied

Quote:"I'm Barack Obama, the Marxist professor. I spent the last two years of high school in a daze. I drank beer heavily, and tried drugs enthusiastically. Look I uh, when I was a kid , I inhaled, frequently. that was uh, that was the point. Pot helped, and booze. A little blow when you could afford it. Junkie, pothead, that's where I was headed. Now you know that guy ain't shit. Sorry ass motherfuckers got nothin on me, nothin. Shit's gettin way too complicated for me. There are white folks, then there are ignorant motherfuckers like you. You can put lipstick on a pig. You ain't my bitch nigger, buy your own damn fries.

I note for the record that the majority of criminals I deal with are Liberals. Second most common are Libertarians. The rest are Moderates or Conservatives when they start the criminal process, Liberals while they are in the system, then emerger as Moderates on most issues.
