Anyone with half a brain can detect a phony shooter by just observing the position of the stock against the shoulder and the cheek against the stock.
"Pansy' is being kind. The other word that comes to mind would not pass the forum's guidelines.
I've know guys with well muscled arms and shoulders, where the stock rose up a bit, but Mr. Barack "Skinny Arm" Obama would have a wrecked shoulder after positioning the stock like that. Looks like only a third of it is in his shoulder. Besides that, he's in a rifle stance anyway.
The OP is really desperate to come up with something to fault since he cannot claim the whole story was a lie now. Porting of shotgun barrels is common and is not something just for old people or wimps. The obvious reason why the stock was high in the shoulder was because the shotgun was not personally fit for Obama. People who shot trap and skeet a lot alter the cant of the stock so they don't have to crane their neck to get a good cheek weld, but if you are just picking a gun off the rack it's not going to be configured just for you physical size.

You've got to be kidding, right?
An accomplished skeet shooter will tailor his/her gun to "fit".....but the AVERAGE skeet shooter does NOT tailor or alter the stock of a gun to "fit." They'll simply go to the range and fire for the fun of it.
How many more excuses will you folks make for this President! Get a freakin' grip!
Aeroguydc - What are you complaining about? You just agreed with me. The OP said Obama is a faker because he held the gun too high in his shoulder. I said the reason was because the stock did not fit him and said serious shooters who are tall have the angle of the stock increased so it fits lower on the shoulder in relation to their cheek. You repeated what I said and then attacked me.
If he went to a public range where everyday people go he would see plenty of people with AR-15's, AK's, FAL's and such being used responsibly and peacefully.
We all know he isn't a avid shooter, making a public op like this is insult. If him and Biden want a double barrel shotgun fine, they just don't have the right to tell the rest of us that is all we should own.

Then you must not have half a brain. There's nothing obviously wrong with the President's form in that photo. And I speak as someone who qualified expert with and ran qualification ranges for the M-16 (and the M1911A1).

So in the midst of trying to push gun control he goes on a photo op shooting a shotgun which any other time he's rather be at a golf course.
Shooting skeet is fun, but the 2nd amendment is about more than that. Why didn't he take a photo op shooting a handgun?, or hunting a deer?, or shooting a AR at a competition range like SO MANY OTHER people do? Because that wouldn't be a proper message, it would be out of step with his gun banning anti's comrades who look down on handguns, hunting, and any gun that is used for more than shooting a clay target.
That is really what the want, all of us to only be able to own a double barrel two shot shotgun.
Where is the midas invector choke tube insert on the bottom barrel? Where is his shooting vest or at least a shooting pouch to carry extra shells?
Last time I shot trap I went thru two boxes of shells.
Wrong type of glasses as well. Someone found some safety glasses for his one shot.
This was probably the first and last time he fired a shotgun which is a Browning Citori probably an XT.
FYI the gasses being expended are correct for that model of shotgun. It's magna ported.
Also ONLY a professional photographer could capture that shot with a REALLY expensive fast camera.
He didn't receive much instruction either had he been shooting a full round of skeet. He should be leaning into his gun.
This guy is a real *****. My wife had a better shooting stance after just a few shells and instruction from an amateur like me.
