The Obama Skeet Shooting photo was released by the White House in February 2013 to verify President Barack Obama's claim that he practiced skeet shooting at Camp David. The original image, taken by official photographer Pete Souza, shows the President firing a shotgun with smoke trailing from the barrel. It quickly transitioned from a political proof-of-point into a massive internet sensation. The meme is predominantly used as an 'exploitable' where the target or the smoke is labeled to represent things the user is successfully (or unsuccessfully) aiming for, or by Photoshopping the President into various comedic and action-oriented scenarios.
