Now that's credibility

The official photo apparently depicts Obama – wearing protective glasses and earmuffs -- firing the rifle Aug. 4, 2012. It was released Friday on the White House’s Flickr account.

 I guess thats it.  We can all breathe easier.  Obama is on our side.  He must be pretty good to shoot clay pigeons with a rifle, especially a big bore like that one appears to be.  Takes a serious gun nut to take that kind of punishing recoil to develop his skills.

I think it is great that he is such a great second amendment supporter.

Update:  Some were suggesting it is fake.  I don't think so.  The only reason to fake it would be if he was afraid to actually shoot it.  It looks like a over/under shotgun with ported barrels.  It is what any classy liberal would use to try to impress the bitter clingers.  John Kerry would go hunting geese with it.  [Hillary would use a rifle for waterfowl].

If the president enjoys shooting the shotgun, he ought to run a few thirty rounders through an AR.  It's a blast.

Update Part Two:  Well they did ask for it.

:)

Punitive taxation.

Oil companies don't pay taxes, they merely collect them. Forcing oil companies to "pay" higher taxes takes money out of our pockets. Gas costs plenty already.

Higher energy costs hurt the economy.

If Obama has any intelligence whatsoever, he knows this. Obama is either stupid or deliberately trying to hurt the economy.

Stupid or evil, libs. That's your guy.

Reaching the wrong conclusion

2. South Dakota

• Overall grade: (50)
• Public access to information: D+
• Legislative accountability: F
• Political financing: F
• Ethics enforcement agencies: F

South Dakota, which has the second-highest corruption risk score, has nine failing grades out of 14 categories, and three Ds. The state, which has among the lowest population density in the country, does not have “comprehensive state ethics laws,” an ethics commission or satisfactory transparency laws, as Denise Ross writes for the State Integrity Investigation. The state does little to require public officials, other than judges, to disclose their income and assets. State law features a loophole that makes it possible for individuals to make unlimited political donations. The state has made major improvements in its integrity by making many state records available online in recent years.

Of course, the the above quoted article is rating the laws that are in place, but the link to the article was entitled "the most corrupt states". I would submit that we don't have those laws in place because we are in fact one of the least corrupt states, and therefore have not needed ethics coded into law.

Does anybody really believe that New Jersey is the least corrupt State?
