Overview

On February 2nd the White House put out a press photo of President Obama skeet Shooting at Camp David. Along with a caption [4] that stated “The photograph may not be manipulated in any way”. As expected, this request has backfired and gathered attention of Photoshop enthusiasts.

About

During an interview by NewRepublic [2], reporter Franklin Foer asked President Obama “Have you ever fired a gun?”, to which Obama responded “Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time”.

About a week later, an official Twitter [3] account associated with the White House tweeted an image of President Obama skeet shooting, to verify the claim given during the interview. Later, the photo also surfaced on the official White House Flickr [1] photo stream.




Notable Examples



Spread

Photoshopers on 4chan [10][11] and Reddit [7] have been responsible for some of the better quality macros but the spread of this meme is mostly seen on pro-gun [6]& libertarian [5] Facebook pages and also pro-gun [8] and libertarian [9] threads on Reddit.
