Santorum Condemns Supporter's Obama Remark

While Santorum was firing a rifle at a gun range, a woman supporter yelled, "Pretend it's Obama"

Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum called a supporter's Obama remark today "absurd."

During a campaign appearance in Louisiana, Santorum was firing a .45 caliber semiautomatic Colt pistol at a police gun range when the woman shouted, "Pretend it's Obama."

Santorum was wearing protective ear muffs and said he didn't hear the remark. When he heard about it, he denounced it as "very terrible and horrible."

The Secret Service, which provides security for Santorum, was trying to identify the woman. A spokesman says, "People have a right to free speech but we have a right and an obligation to determine what their intent is."
