Has Obama Done Some Skeet Shooting? Fox News Says Yes
Excerpt:The Washington Post's Fact Checker takes on the subject of whether President Obama was shooting straight when he told The New Republic that he has fired a gun and that "we do skeet shooting all the time" at Camp David. And what does Fact Checker conclude? "Verdict Pending." "We do not have enough information to make a ruling one way or the other," Fact Checker says. "We are eager to see a photograph, or hear from someone who saw him at the skeet range, to put this matter to rest." Well, Fox News reports that it has spoken to "a source who says he has been to the retreat on a half-dozen visits with Obama." According to that source, he knows for sure that the president has shot skeet at least once, during a "President's Cup" competition involving Camp David's Marine guards.

- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

When the president told The New Republic that "we do skeet shooting all the time" at Camp David, some critics had their doubts. The Washington Post's Fact Checker says it's withholding opinion on the veracity of the claim. Now, Fox News says it has learned of at least two times Obama went shooting.
