In an email Monday, Woodmont President Barry Forman told club members that after “many hours in recent weeks considering this matter and the views of our members,” the executive committee decided to invite Obama to join.

“Political views have never been part of our membership criteria, and our members have always reflected a range of opinions on issues of the day,” Forman wrote. “In the current, deeply polarized political environment, it is all the more important that Woodmont be a place where people of varying views and beliefs can enjoy fellowship and recreation in a relaxed environment.”

I recall when Nixon was VP and could not get into Balthusrol CC in NJ. Nothing was said about that. I wonder whom the member was who sponsored this POS into that club. He should be ostracized.

0bama doesn’t deserve the membership. They’ve made a bad decision. If the jewish members want to maintain Woodmont Country Club as “a place where people of varying views and beliefs can enjoy fellowship and recreation” then they need to keep muslims out. Especially 0bama.

Exemplifies Jewish self-defeatism. If the tables were turned a predominantly Muslim country club wouldn’t accept a Jewish Republican ex-POTUS who was anti-Arab/Palestinian. No way.

Good evening.

“Former US President Barack Obama was accepted to the elite Woodmont Country Club, his hostile policies towards Israel notwithstanding”

Imho, you can’t discriminate against the first “African American” president. Even if he is an antisemite.

Nice picture of Obama with his putter in his hand and probably his balls in his pocket. That’s how he spent much of his administration’s time, playing pocket-pool and screwing the American people.

Bad call on the part of those who voted for this. Barack Obama has already dissed you and your people and your ancestral homeland and its citizens an guardians today in the worst way possible. Why give him a seal of approval to join your exclusive club. Some real dumb dumbs voting over there.
