The Issue: A picture distributed by the White House that showed President Obama skeet shooting.
***
The White House says the president is a skeet shooter. This is nothing more than lip-syncing, (“Obama Mocked for Releasing Skeet-Shoot Photo During Gun Debate,” Feb. 3).
This is a perfect example of this administration once again taking advantage of a tragedy. The man has no shame or compassion.

From now on, I’m going to call our commander-in-chief “Skeeter.”
You don’t shoot a skeet with the barrel of a shotgun parallel to the ground. Skeets may fly in the sky, but President Obama has sunk to a new low.T. King

I am not a starry-eyed naif, but I do have an ongoing hope that we all have a basic level of respect for public servants, whether or not we agree with them politically. I hope we impart coming generations with that same respect.
The headline “Skeet for Brains” is a sad reminder of what a challenge this continues to be. Terry Gans
