White House Pic: Obama goes shooting‘all the time’

President Obama totally goes skeet shooting. “All the time!” Of course, White House press secretary Jay Carney couldn’t say how often “all the time” was and had never seen photos of the alleged skeet shooting enthusiast doing his thing. Today, by popular demand, they have released an official photo of the president skeet-shooting. Until now.

The White House also warns all you mischievous internet types to not mess around 

with the picture:

"This official White House photograph is being made available only for 

publication by news organizations and/or for personal use printing by the

subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in 

any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, 

advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests 

approval or endorsement of the President, 

the First Family, or the White House." 

After Obama told The New Republic that he goes skeet-shooting “all the time” at 

Camp David, media voices began demanding to see photographic proof. Fox News’ 

The Five were incredulous and CNN’s Erin Burnett thought he might be “making it up.” 

Even Jon Stewart got into the fray, asking “Why won’t the black man half the country 

lives in fear of release a picture of himself holding 

a gun?”
