Did Obama's foursome finally include woman?
Does the White House feel like a frat house? The suspicion flared in recent weeks -- and not for the first time -- after President Obama was criticized by women's advocates and liberal bloggers for hosting a high-level basketball game with no female players. In records kept by Mark Knoller of CBS, the president has played 23 rounds of golf since taking office, none of which have included women, though Knoller allows that the press office does not always release the names of every player. A White House spokesman, Bill Burton, said Friday that Obama planned to play this weekend with domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes.

I'm no great fan of Obama by any stretch, but holy crapola, if the guys wants to go shoot 18 with the GUYS, it is NOT a political issue!!! I'm politically liberal, but at some point, the nannies just have to get off everyone's backs!!!!

Exactly! My first was reaction was "who cares". Has he golfed with a Mexican? What about an Asian? Why not? Huh?
Geeze people there are bigger issues than this.

In my book women don't belong on a golf course. We go do these things to get away from the old ball and chain. We can talk how we want and have a good time without having to watch our p's and q's.

You got it. And I also am politcally liberal, and although I am a fan of President Obama, I wish he would stop with the cheerleading already and do something truly beneficial for the country. After all that's why I voted for him.

I remember the pick of the ugly chick that was protesting the fact that no women were allowed to be members of the Augusta golf club where the Masters is held--her name escapes me because she is totally irrevelant--and in the background while she and all her feminist crazies that had nothing better to do were whining, a guy was holding up a sign that said
"Iron my shirt, beeyatch!"
I LMFAO at that one!
Oh yeah, her name was Martha Burke, I think. But she is STILL totally irrelevant.

And on the other side of the discussion, Michelle Obama has now held 12 Tupperware and Avon parties, and not a single male White House staffer has been allowed to attend.
Where does the idiocy stop? Like BO or not (and I don't), he has the right to play GOLF with WHOMEVER he WANTS! If he wants to blow off a little steam, drink a beer or two, smoke a cigar, and belch and fart without having to feel like he has committed a crime, LET THE MAN have a little time to himself and his friends!

Now that I think about it, its kind of surprising... Judging by his swing, he probably plays (or needs to play) from the ladies tees...

LOL. I was thinking the same thing but in all seriousness I think Candice Parker could take all of us.

Gawd! Doesn't the women's rights movement have more pressing issues to worry about than who's playing golf with the president? Like maybe using some of that wasted influence to get some kind of health care bill passed?
