But why photoshop something? They could have taken a short period of time, half hour to an hour, move him to some wooded location, handed him a shotgun and taken a real photograph. Unless, of course, they are purposely screwing with wingnnuts heads. Which is very easy to do. Y'all can be reliably depended on to jump at wild conspiracy theories on almost anything. And y'all wind up looking like loons. I mean, skeet shooting? Are you serious? Why bother? This is the new birther movement. They do not like Obama and will do whatever it takes to discredit him. The irony is the more they do it the more Americans get turned off. Its the GOP that winds up getting discredited.

I have no idea why - it's just stupid. I wouldn't call it a conspiracy - it's just fake smoke. I suspect someone on the staff had the photo and wanted to make it more dramatic. Did he shoot skeet with friends - probably - it's fun. But the gun is not configured for skeet - trap maybe - he only has one choke in the gun - should have two. Skeet is a two shot game, trap is one shot then you reload - played with just one barrel. That said most of his staff and media don't know the difference between auto and semi-auto so that fact they don't know skeet from trap - well that's just normal.
