(CNN) – Mitt Romney added his voice to the chorus calling for women to be allowed to join Augusta National Golf Club.
When asked if women should be admitted, the Republican presidential frontrunner responded: "Of course."
"I am not a member of Augusta. I don't know if I would qualify. My golf game is not that good," Romney told reporters after an energy-themed event in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. "Certainly if I were a member, if I could run Augusta, which isn't likely to happen, of course I'd have women into Augusta."
Earlier Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said President Barack Obama's "personal opinion is women should be admitted."

> And the next question would be “so if a golf club has rules
> against admitting blacks that would be OK with you too”?
To which the response should be another question.
“How many white folks are in the Black Congressional Caucus? The NBPP? The Nation of Islam?”
A long, long time ago, I was the only white guy in a black band. I went with the bandleader to talk to the owner of a black nightclub hoping to get a gig. The owner looked at me and asked the bandleader, “Is this a mixed band?” The bandleader answered, “Yes.” Then the owner asked, “How mixed?”
We did that one gig, but some of the customers complained that there were white folks in the band. I remember some of them glowering at me. It was the last time we were allowed to play there.
You know, I respected their right of free association. They only wanted “bruthahs” to be paid with “black money” to perform there. Tha’s ok, tha’s ok.
Wait, he did what? I missed this.
And I, as a female golfer, think they should not be admitted. Would everybody PLEASE stay out of things that they have no business messing with.
I don’t want to defend Mitten’s but he was put in a corner on this one. Obama came out specifically and commented on this because he is having trouble with women voters. If Romney would come out and say it is a private club he would get hammered.
It was back when he was campaigning here in Michigan and telling us how perfect the height of our trees was.
*Groan*
Here, fold these shirts.
Every leftist media loon question can be a trap but you don’t have to play into it with the assumptions of the left.
“I’m runnning for President and as President we will enforce the laws passed by Congress. The civil rights acts have settled issues of public accomodation as they apply for race, ethnicity, religion and gender. It would be against the concepts of this nation’s seperation of powers for an executive to introduce his personal preferences into executing the laws of the land.”
That’s how it should have been answered.
more often than not older women 4somes are a drag to play behind.”
Excuse me - our foursome played this morning, average age 62 - we had to wait on every hole for the MEN in front of us. Finally called the Marshall after 12 holes of waiting and we were allowed to play through. When we came off of 18, they were just teeing off on #16. So there!!!
Non-LDS should be allowed in all of those “secret” LDS meetings.
There are 300 members of the Augusta Club. Not all play golf. The purpose of the club is to sponsor The Masters. The course is only open for five months after the tournament for reconstruction. There are no applications for membership. You are invited. Memberships become available due to death. There are also no Red Tees on the course.

No, that's just an open invitation for the MSM/Dems to start a fight with Romney over race.
Let's not interrupt Obama when he's having a terrible couple of weeks. Let's keep the headlines on his gaffes and not get the guns trained on Romney.
He’ll just tell people he did.

Exactly!
So now, according to Romney AND Obama, boys can join the girl scouts.
Expect the Etch a Sketch to take increasingly left wing positions here on out.
Also, I wonder if the Mittbotts who bashed Santorum when he dared to speak about social conservatism will bash Mitt for straying from talking about the economy.
What a knee jerk, easily rattled, pandering ASS.
