"We do skeet all the time"

"Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," (Obama) said, responding to a question about whether he had ever fired a gun. He also added he has included guests on his skeet shooting outings. 
 Amazing how many people pick up on the odd turn of phrase... Anyway, NRA-ILA | Skeptical congresswoman challenges Obama to skeet shooting match.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, joined a chorus of skeptics who questioned President Barack Obama's recent comments about his hobby of skeet shooting, a sport where participants fire shotguns to break airborne clay disks.
Leads to a story at CNN:
"If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why hasn't he referenced this at any point in time?" Blackburn said Monday on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."
"I tell you what I do think," she later added. "I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I'll go skeet shooting with him and I bet I'll beat him."
I'd be afraid he'd pull a "Dick Cheney", myself...

It's all definitions. Like the meaning of "is". Barry just redefined "skeet shooting", is all.
