| #7 Lazy reporting. The club's head wanted to offer Obama a free membership. Members are balking at that: http://washingtonjewishweek.com/35902/woodmont-country-club-urged-to-offer-obama-membership/news/local-news/ Politico reported this summer that Obama was interested in joining the club because it does not have a history of discriminating against minorities and because it would waive its $80,000 membership initiation fee and $9,673 in annual dues. |

| #5 Hot Air: Right on schedule, Obama’s “future country club” is melting down "...But the mayor – one Jeffrey Slavin, who I’m just going to assume is a Democrat [CONFIRMED- VRWC] – seems to be milking this for all he can get out of it. Rather than simply disagreeing with his fellow golfers, he’s chosen to quit and put out a statement describing the potential decision as intolerance. It doesn’t take much ability to read between the lines to know what that means. He’s accusing the members of being racists [yawn] and the press is picking up the ball and running with it..." |

| #4 Why would he want to join? Precisely because the SS would clear the course when he plays. They should stop mowing the rough. |

| #2 Why would Barry want to join a historically Jewish club? Best greens ins Maryland? I think he's just stirring up feces, hoping to be treated badly, so he can complain. |
