The controversy at an exclusive Maryland country club over whether to allow President Obama to join took a new turn when a member resigned Monday.
Jeffrey Slavin, a local mayor, dropped his membership on Martin Luther King Jr. Day because of the controversy, saying he could “no longer belong to a community” with such “intolerance.”
“I can no longer belong to a community,” Slavin wrote in an email to the general manager of the club.
“Where Intolerance is accepted, Where History is forgotten, Where Freedom of Speech is denied, And where the nation’s first black president is disrespected,” said Slavin, the mayor of Somerset, Maryland.
Slavin thanked the club for “many great memories” and signed his email, “Stay Woke.”
A copy of the email was obtained by the Washington Post.
As first reported by the New York Post, the controversy at the Woodmont Country Club, a predominantly Jewish club, stems from Obama’s controversial positions and actions regarding Israel, which have angered many members, including liberal Democrats.

Oh, it looks good on you though.”
“Hey baby, you must’ve been something before electricity.”
Lots of mayors are rich before they become mayors.
precisely ,
in my town there are two clubs; one for the big shots and one for the reserved club types. Nothing wrong with either group, just different styles.
and that’s the entire point of a social club, being with people you enjoy
He is not being blocked because he is black.
He is being blocked because he is obama.
You're saying that's how they figure President Barack Obama ? I think you are saying that. And I think you are more than wrong.
Or, they couldn’t afford the pesticides to kill all the flies that follow him wherever he goes.
Most smaller-city mayors are not careerists, and most that I have known don't need whatever salary the job pays. And in many cases those posts are only part time.
Live a few miles from this place. Been a topic for around here for well over week. Didn’t get MSM attention until this idiot chimed in.
Worked several days at one of the early election Trump table this year, out side of the voting areas. A lot of Jews came to our table and told us this was the first time they ever voted Republican. They were p.o.ed over Bammy’s treatment of Israel.
Don’t blame em!
The first Rosh Hashanah, Bam was running, in the parking lot of the local synagogue, they all had Bam bumper stickers. Second, a several. Shrillary’s year ONE. LOL!
Obama would fundamentally transform the club.
Bet you won’t be missed, except at the dinner table.
This oy vey kunta kinte conflict is delicious with contradiction irony and schadenfreude
Brimming.
Same reason they vote for and support financially those same candidates like Barack Hussein
And make movies deriding traditional America
And teach that way in academia
The constant fixture of progressive thinking like make the world better than you found it coupled with the fear that behind every white Christian American lies a Cossack or Ustashi or Schutzstaffel
They prefer to minimize that imagined threat first always as the exclusive outsider
And deal with Islam later
Woodmont is the Jewish country club founded because other clubs didn’t admit them. Irony abounds.
I think it might be because Obozo is a Jew hating muslim.
I’ve lived most of my life in the Baltimore/DC area.
Never heard of Somerset.
I can't think of one positive thing BHO's done, and his track record confirms he makes worse whatever he touches.
There are countless numbers of country clubs in the DC area. Could it be Obama chose this one in order to create controversy? He’s an expert at that...
The reason, per interviews with club members on WMAL radio last week is that the majority of the Jewish members are pro-Israel and object to Obama’s anti-Israel stance during his entire presidency and especially abstaining during the vote on the Anti-Israel vote at the UN.
