Obama Says Women Should Be Allowed to Play Golf

[ClydeR]

President Obama believes that women should be allowed membership in the exclusive golf club that is hosting Masters tournament this week, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday.

Reporters asked about it because of the contentious press conference (http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/no-comment-billy-payne-membership-questions-arent-going-away) at Augusta National yesterday when the club's chairman, Billy Payne, tried to evade the question. Payne should have anticipated the question because of a Bloomberg article that ran last week.


Will International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)’s Ginni Rometty be able to wear a green jacket at the Masters Tournament?

As Augusta National Golf Club prepares to host the competition next week, it faces a quandary: The club hasn’t admitted a woman as a member since its founding eight decades ago, yet it has historically invited the chief executive officer of IBM, one of three Masters sponsors. Since the company named Rometty to the post this year, Augusta will have to break tradition either way.

Earlier today, Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus, whose first name violates the I before E rule, said that women are like caterpillars (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-04-05/priebus-says-gender-battle-as-fictonal-as-caterpillar-war). We all know how much fun caterpillars are on a golf course.

Could you go through your "logic" of Priebus actually calling women caterpillars?

Because that would be as entertaining as anything you bring to this forum.

Note, this was prior to the current "ZOMG REPUBLICANS ARE AT WAR AGAINST TEH WOMENZ!" campaign for re-election.

I anticipate Obama making a concerted sacrifice to golf with more women in the next 7 months than in the first 4 years of his Presidency.

Good question! The answer is no, I cannot, because Priebus did not call women caterpillars. He merely compared them to caterpillars.

It's a private club, and as such, they can deny membership to women if they so choose because this is, for now, still a somewhat kind of halfway semi-free country. I'll be glad when this guy's freedom killing reign is at an end.

When I was a kid the kids on my street had a club for riding bicycles around and hanging out in our treefort, and we had a rule, "No Girls, except Leann". My sister was the only other girl on the street.

Eventually our parents (IE OBAMA) made us include her. Damn these people trying to take away our freedoms.

Hey if men want to play with tiny balls and wood without women around then let them.

[Wrathbringer]

This is not a public golf course. It's a private club. As such, it has the freedom to set its own qualifications for membership. Were it public, it would not have that right. So to answer your question, yes.

You can't spell "Pubic re-Rinse" without Reince Priebus.

[Tisket]

I'd rather make sammiches than learn to golf. Damn you, Obama. I refuse to feel pressured to play that ridiculous game.

I am woman, hear me roar...NO FUCKING WAY!

Ninja title change for the win. Thanks whoever that was.

I meant to post about that in the things that made me smile thread (I didn't do it).

This thread is meaningless until we get Delias' expert opinion.

Obama’s likely challenger in the fall, Mitt Romney, was asked during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania later Thursday whether Augusta should admit female members.

“Well, of course,” he said. “Certainly if I were a member, and if I could run Augusta, which isn’t likely to happen, but of course I’d have women in Augusta, sure,” he said.

Decisive. :)

Ask him how he feels about those women only gyms. Shit isn't fair I should be allowed to watch them bounce on a treadmill while I'm lifting.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. We should be able to watch you lift while we're on the treadmill.

The women I've seen at those gyms don't bounce. They are more strapped down than a Gary Ridgeway victim. They only bounce in a pornographers idea of a woman's gym. Also, no scissoring goes on. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble.

I refuse to believe you and clearly this is just propoganda designed to keep men from trying to gain access.

I want to take Stanley Burrell golfing. I'm seeing jello shots, an LMFAO concert dressing theme, and maybe some donated herbal brownies. HEY but not before Easter. I'm going to that brunch and I don't want to get kicked out before then because I already bought my dress. Okay BROSEF?! It's official.

[Parkbandit]

So wait... women can actually play at Augusta.. they just can't become members of the Club?

[4a6c1]

Guest status probably.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I think they can as a guest of a member?

Sorry for my tardiness. Ask and you shall receive.


A looper, you know, a caddy, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald...striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver, he hauls off and whacks one- big hitter, the Lama- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? "Gunga galunga...gunga- gunga lagunga." So we finish eighteen and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort?" And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
