At Gun Range, Santorum Aims At Target And Is Urged To "Pretend It's Obama" [View all]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Rick Santorum was at a gun range in Lousiana Friday in advance of Saturday's primaries, which he is expected to win. Politico's Juana Summers was with Santorum reported on an odd attempt at a joke.

She tweeted:

Santorum is shooting a 1911 Colt. Range master says "Well, it's not your first rodeo.". Someone here says "pretend its Obama."



As Santorum had headphones on and was standing far from supporters, he likely didn't hear woman say "pretend its Obama" as he shot.
