Obama says he goes "skeet shooting all the time."

Posted: Jan 29, 2013

(CNN) - It's about time for some bipartisan...skeet shooting? 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." Obama said in an interview published Sunday by The New Republic that he won't ignore the concerns of hunters and sportsmen as his administration pushes for tighter gun laws. To illustrate his point, he added an anecdote about his previously unknown penchant for shooting. "Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," he said, responding to a question about whether he had ever fired a gun. He also added he has included guests on his skeet shooting outings. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/28/dubious-congresswoman-challenges-obama-to-skeet-shooting-match/comment-page-5/;

Is this all we have for political discussion these days? Debating whether or not the president lies about skeet shooting?

Well, we COULD start a discussion on how many lies Obama - has told over the past 1480 days,

but not including his first campaign, as I'm giving him a break on that. ;-)

Sure. What's another lie? Goes to his character - -

While Palin's time at Fox was occasionally rocky, the network's news executive, Bill Shine, said Friday that "we have thoroughly enjoyed our association" with her.

"We wish her the best in her future endeavors," said Shine, Fox's executive vice president for programming.

A person familiar with discussions between Fox and Palin described the parting as amicable, saying that Fox and Palin had discussed renewing her contract but she decided to do other things. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.

well, apparently they didn't think her stay was - in their best interest

[ In Reply To ..]
financially or otherwise, or she'd been offered a hefty contract, which she most certainly would not have turned down.

I guess they went down the "fool me once" avenue and decided not to choose the fool me twice option.

Agree, totally hilarious - mbmt

The things these people come up with to complain about and make a majorly big deal out of are pretty funny.

There isn't a whole lot of trust on this. Looks like an off duty cop, in an unmarked car, but wearing a uniform, saw 3 young adults on a corner. One took off running, officer made a U-turn and chased him, eventually on foot. Police say kid turned and shot at officer 3 times, officer shot 17 times. Others say kid was not armed.
