Jokes and kidding only go so far with the Secret Service.

The Monroe News-Star reports that the Secret Service is investigating an anti-President Obama remark made at a Rick Santorum appearance in Louisiana Friday morning.

The paper reported that while Santorum was at the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office Rifle Range shooting at a paper target, a woman in the crowd shouted: “Pretend it’s Obama.”

The paper reported that Santorum was wearing protective ear muffs and said he didn’t hear it.

“It’s a very terrible and horrible remark, and I’m glad I didn’t hear it,” he said.

“We are conducting the appropriate investigative steps,” said George Ogilvie, public affairs officer for the Secret Service, according to the paper.
