Obama's Golf Dream Team: Bring on the Lezzies!
 
 

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.

OH, Please!...
For alot of people no matter what Obama and his administration does they will be criticized for it, everything they do is put under a microscope and pointed out to everybody as some sort of political awareness issue. Did anybody ever ask those women in the whitehouse did they want to play sports with the guys? Did any of the women ask to join in these games and were turned down? I mean.....how can anybody judge the president from the outside looking in and asuming that alot of the women in the whitehouse want to be apart of the b-ball games. I wonder if this discussion will even be relivent if the women of the whitehouse had a ladies day every week and no men were allowed. Obama is the only president with the highest number of women and minorities in his administration then any other presidential administration......but i see for some people that's still not enough. I guess next they'll want to have uni-sex bathrooms to make women feel more equal....i mean where do we draw the line or is there one.
