Obama gives TCU rifle team a warm welcome at White House
Obama gives TCU rifle team a warm welcome at White House
Read more: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/09...#ixzz0zWlgQWbF
The Prez gives them a 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."........"
And a bit more on them
"......The TCU rifle team came in for some extra attention because it is the first all-female national rifle championship winner in NCAA history -- the sport can have all-male, mixed gender and all-female teams........."
Way to go Ladies.

Well, that was nice of Obama. But Bill Clinton would have given them a private audience...

Small point.... Robert L. Howard went to TCU.
Embarrassing fact, I'm a TCU grad.
The TCU Rifle Team has been outstanding for a long time. The range used to be the same building as the ROTC supply area.

You mean, a school actually let you attend? Did they make you pay double?

I bet he regrets he wasn't able to take down the "Tuzla Dasher" instead of compromising to make her his Secretary of State.

The very first time I got beat rifle shooting by a female was on 'winner buys cokes" bet with the girls on the University of Alabama rifle team. That was long ago and my ego is still bruised.
