The White House’s spokesman said Thursday that the president believes that a golf club in Augusta, Ga., 551 miles from the White House, should change its membership rules and admit women as members.
The golf club in question is the Augusta National Golf Club, which is hosting the high-profile Masters tournament this week.
“It is obviously up to the club to decide, but his personal opinion is that women should be admitted to the club,” Obama’s spokesman, Jay Carney, said in response to a question from a reporter.
The private club does not invite women to be members. Feminist groups are pressuring the club, and its corporate sponsors, to change its long-standing rule.
However, Obama is trying to bolster support with feminist groups, partly because he’s trying to maximize favorable turnout among women in the November election.
Obama “believes Augusta should admit women. We’re kinda long past the time when women should be excluded from anything,” Carney said.
The new announcement reflects Obama’s view that the administration should play a larger role in the nation’s economy and civil society.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Obama!!!!!
You’re spot on, had to be a planted question.
Zero is such a girly-man that Augusta National wouldn’t have him as a member.
“I’m sure this is exactly what James Madison and the other Framers had in mind when they created the office of President, that the President would step in to rectify outrages like a private club deciding who their members should be.”
LOL! Thanks. I needed that! :)
How else could it ever have gone down?
Obama had a conversation with Jay Carney to tell him that he feels that the woman should be admitted to Augusta?
And Obama told Carney to answer as such if asked in the presser amidst an untold amount of immediate and serious world issues?
Then amazingly Carney gets ASKED about the woman/Augusta thing?
It doesn't even pass the third grade laugh test, does it?
this is just beyond the beyond....
Yeah, but does Obama himself have enough legitimate documentation to become a member of Augusta?
Flash, Obama comes out requiring sexual partners to spoon while they are asleep, clearly necessary and proper for the regulation of insterstate commerce.
Obama just CANNOT keep from "yapping" his Yap, as if pontificating from Saint Peter's in the Vatican ...
What? No white republicans in the “Black Caucus, male or female”-—has never been. Next that effing administration will advocate for a Muslim Pope; why not? most catholics like Pelosi don’t mind murdering unborn children, and alot of these soft-catholics vote democrat exclussively-—the American Jews too.
Dude is going to continue creating strawmen distractions for nonexistent issues to keep the News alive with BS.
Well according to him he has no influence on gas prices, etc so he has to earn his pay somehow. Besides destroying America and making it dangerous to be white in this country, that is.
The new announcement reflects Obama’s view that the administration should play a larger role in the nation’s economy and civil society.
THAT is the money quote- the MARXIST B@st@rd thinks he should have an opinion about EVERY ASPECT of our lives and we should FOLLOW it. Which I am sure he hopes will sonn become because Dear Leader SAYS SO!
Yes the ones where black “youths” are setting upon white victims wth impunity. That’s small enough to be beneath his notice, even though black-on-white crime far outweighs white-on-black crime. After all, isn’t it enough that whites get to work to pay for the oppressed blacks?
Obviously the Travon Martin issue has run its course so now on to the next distraction from the economy and gas prices.
STFU,zero.
Just STFU.
How does he feel about admitting men to “Curves”?
They allow women into Man Country, right?
I recall about 10 or so years back when there was a protest about Augusta not allowing female members. Several of the advertisers of The Masters tournament were going to be boycotted, so the folks at Augusta televised the tournament commercial free.
By the way, Augusta is a PRIVATE club and, as such, can allow who they want.
Number of these hags who actually play golf? Zero
