May the piece be with you

On Saturday morning a photo of President Obama skeet shooting in August was released in response to conservative media who questioned his statements earlier in the week where he stated that he skeet shoots at Camp David. Just to show good measure with the gun lobbies who cry out that this president wants to "take away your guns". As a person who has some interest in the sport myself I found the photo "pretty cool". But after a full news cycle (which seems to be shorter than 24 hours and more like 24 minutes) I started to feel as if it's intention as a scapegoat. The " they don't believe I am a citizen of the country, so here's my birth certificate" kind of deal. Once again the president is having to conform for the people who don't except it either way. A bowing down if you will. After winning two elections, it should be the other way around  As a Progressive, it is very frustrating to see a legitimate president have to bow down and prove himself to people who are not  even suit to controlling their own party. I'd figure with the re-election of the president ( with bigger margin than last) the foolish politics and obstructions would at least dwindle down. But it's almost as if it happened.
