If he had framed it differently and said the club should do what it wants next question up: "do in your opinion it would be OK to exclude blacks"?Then he should say it's not the same thing. Racial differences are meaningless but gender differences are real. Which is why we allow gender-segregated schools, dorms, bathrooms, etc. but not the same for different races.
Then you get the entire MSM/Dem axis parsing his words for the next 2 weeks with all the legal expert on tap to examine the laws and give their opposing opinions on whether he's right/wrong. And we get the women up in arms which is just what obama wants.
I say...get rid of the issue quick. Obama is having a terrible 2 weeks. Keep the attention on him, not on a stupid golf club question.
