WASHINGTON -- The five female members of Texas Christian University's national championship rifle team were already beside themselves to be on the South Lawn of the White House on Monday evening at a celebration of all NCAA sports champions when President Barack Obama gave them the first shout-out.

"We've got the sharpshooters from the TCU rifle squad. Where are they?" asked Obama as the team members, standing near the camera risers, screamed. "I think that they may be able to give the Secret Service a run for their money."

Women from from a conservative state bearing arms.......brave man.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Whatta dork.

[Dick Bachert]

Bet they were STRIP SEARCHED.

[Farmer Dean]

Precision rifle shooters from Texas?You better believe they could give the Secret Service marksmen a run for their money!

[Sacajaweau]

Yeh, those SS guys are only trained to use cap guns.

Obama is aware that we have a military which would put those Texas boys in their place real quick.

Why say something neg about the SS though? What a jerk.

[television is just wrong]

Obama will try to get them to turn in their rifles before they leave.

[Liberty Valance]

Go Frogs!

[woodchukwood]

Must be someone new in charge of press ops at the WH.

Is BO moving to the far-left from the extreme far-left?

Were the ladies clinging to their guns?

Zero showed them his gun;

Obama’s Gun ...

"...And, surprisingly, Obama told the TCU team members that he, too, practiced shooting with a rifle. "He said he practiced with the Secret Service," said Riford, who graduated from TCU in May and now works in Fort Worth".

If true this is very interesting.

This is the same humor we saw when he threatened the Jonas Brothers with Predator drones. Complete dolt.

“...And, surprisingly, Obama told the TCU team members that he, too, practiced shooting with a rifle. “He said he practiced with the Secret Service,”

I think everyone here would pay to watch that - how about some pictures? The man lies - even in his sleep!!!!

Can’t you see the SS guys/gals looking at one another, rolling their eyes and mouthing the words - “Have you ever seen him on the range? Neither have I.”

I doubt it's true. He (like all liberals) hates the thought of any civilian owning weapons. SS “rifles” would be either assault weapons (kill a crowd at close range) or sniper weapons. Neither would be “practiced” at the White House, but at a separate range such as Quantico.

Look at the photo of him cringing (literally!) when two judo experts flipped themselves during a staged demo. Even Michelle looked more “masculine” in that photo.

Okay, just imagine how horrified the last Democrat in the White House would have been if five young women with weapons training showed up to visit.

It may be true...(o)bama is thinking ahead, after his guards are gone.

[Springman]

Misread the title and thought the CTU rifle team and Jack Bauer were at the White House.

Well glad CTU Medical wasn’t there, no one would be left alive!!!!

“Obama is aware that we have a military which would put those Texas boys in their place real quick”

Only if it’s the black pampers. Not our military.

Absolutely untrue ... not mention of it anywhere in public statements and THAT would have been front page news. Dig it out if you can ... but you can’t.

This POS lies like Clinton.
