Earlier this month President Obama made some sports news. It seems that the New York Times found that he's got a regular basketball game going in the White House and women have been left off all the lineups.
Oops.
The Washington Post caught the sports' fever and found out that since he's been in office he's played golf 23 times -- all with the boys.
Ouch.
It made Lynn Sweet from the Chicago Sun Times ask this question:
"Is there a frat boy or 'boys club' atmosphere in the White House? Yes, there is, I've been told by a few high-level female staffers who are aware that at the highest levels in the White House, Obama huddles most intensely with men. Senior adviser Valerie Jarrett is the exception."
After that, both conservatives and liberals had something to gossip about because even though Obama called the whole thing "bunk," guess who came to that 24th golf game...
A woman. Melody Barnes, his chief domestic policy adviser.
Now I ask you, what does all this mean? I've scrolled through all the Capital Hill Women and I've got to say there's not a lot that look like avid hoops' players, but golf... I'd say there are some players in that group.
