WASHINGTON (AP)—A White House spokesman said Thursday that President Barack Obama believes women should be admitted as members to the all-male Augusta National, home of the Masters golf tournament.

White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that Obama’s “personal opinion is that women should be admitted” to the golf club. Carney said it was “up to the club to decide” but Obama told him he personally thinks women should be welcome.

“We’re kind of long past the time when women should be excluded from anything,” Carney said.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Obama’s likely challenger in the fall, said “of course” he would allow women in “if I could run Augusta.”

Liberals think alike. Both Barry and Willard pander to women voters, saying Augusta National should be open to women. To hell with both these pandering pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-gun creeps. It's enough to make you throw up knowing the chances are pretty good that one of these liberals will be the president for the next four years. Barry Soreto or his pale-faced brother.

We all need to obey our betters.

Or bad things could happen.

And the R Establishment thinks that we are going to vote for Mittens? I’d rather be attacked from the front than sandbagged.

I wish both of these guys would stop trying to be pundits. We have real problems in this government today, it’s broke, and there hasn’t been a budget in three years. Solve those problems and then you can weigh in on pop culture, sports, and local police blotter issues.

Women should be in the NFL, too.

Should men be allowed in these “professional women’s business networks” that are set up to take advantage of affirmative action policies of the government & corporations, by which men’s tax dollars are used to subsidize women’s attempts at business?

Muslims don’t deal with such divisive rhetoric...

I’d let any woman on earth in before I let these two asshats in.

They don't agree.

Obama says women should be admitted.

Romney says women shouldn't be excluded.

Anybody who denies the right of a men’s club to exist and elevates its existence to the level of a national crime against women, if not a total moron, is a pandering demagogue.

One real simple rule for all candidates.

You don't need an answer for every non political question asked.

LOL! It may be the end of the country, but at least we'll have some laughs watching the battle of the panders. Do they have any thoughts on the transgender Miss Universe contestant?

Not only are 100% of women disqualified from membership — so are about 99.99% of men.

tweedledee and tweedledum, pandering to the p**** vote.

Here, in a nutshell, is why this country is being driven over a cliff with the pedal to the metal.
