Obama may have had his Dan Rather moment. The picture of him shooting a shotgun looks wrong. Here's a link to an article that does an analysis and concludes that parts of the picture are photo shopped. The thing I noticed when I first saw the picture is that there's too much smoke. Obama looks like he's shooting an old black powder gun rather than a modern shotgun using smokeless powder. The author makes a number of points about asymmetrical smoke coming from the ports near the muzzle, and the fact that the smoke coming from the right port isn't a jet but a gentle waft, the kind you would add via photo shop if you were not familiar with guns. Finally there's no apparent recoil and the gun isn't pointed up as you would shooting skeet.
This would be a great opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison as was done with the Rather documents.
