How many women played golf or anything else with G.W. ? Why is this an issue ? Everything our president does becomes media blood. GIVE IT A REST!!!!!!!!

President Obama should ignore issues that are totally generated by the media. They are looking for some negative juice. President Obama's clear response should have been that my wife is the only woman that I reserve the right to play sports with.

The president uses the men's toilet too. Is that some kind of exclusion of women? Me thinks this is a ploy to see if they can manipulate the president on a trivial matter- to see if they have his ear. Its the political correct feminist 'taliban' . If he grows a beard, women will protest that he's undermining their equal rights.

SO WHAT - She isn't the first woman to play a game of golf with their boss. AND, I doubt this is her first time on the green! AND, I would bet my right hand (yes, I am a righty) that Obama got more accomplished in that one golf game (on a SUNDAY afternoon) than bush did in a month while he was sitting at his desk in the white house in the oval office.

Haters are always gonna find something to hate about!
As a dear friend use to say - uckfay hemtay and eedfay hemtay ishfay! LOL

President Obama should not have given an inch on this issue. He knows that the vast majority of these women are sexually attracted to him and he doesn't want any rumors started. I hope he ignores this non issue to the public in the future.

I watched the View this morning and Lizzie and Joy were going on and and on about President Obama's negligence in including women in his sports. I am very pro-woman and very equal rights for women, but the idea that President Obama has to have a sports outing with women included is utterly ridiculous. Some things and some times guys just want to do things with the guys. Just like sometimes women just want to do things with the ladies. I just wonder if the President were a woman and she enjoyed quilting (just an example), would women be screaming that she should include men. I also wonder what women would say if, let's say all things being equal, they had to share the same locker room.

I have only one point and that point is that there are way too many problems in this world to be concerned about the president including women in his extracurricular activities. I can see it now, the president asks a woman to play basketball with he and the guys. The president touches her buttocks or breast. The headlines are now, "President Obama gropes woman on court."

keepemhonest – so based on the 8/6/01 PDB what are you suggesting should have been done? Please provide detailed plans that would have derailed 9/11 from happening. Should President Bush have shut down the airports? Round up all suspect terrorists in the US and send them to Guantanamo for interrogation? Held a prime time broadcast to the country instructing everyone to be on the look out for Muslim terrorists? You and others that use the 8/6 PDB as red herring are the right’s answer to all the nut cases that have said and wrote that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor was coming since Dec 8, 1941. But go ahead and enlighten us on what would have stopped 9/11 based on the 8/6 PDB. I am looking forward to your response.

Did she get that golf bag from Rodney Dangerfield? It looks like there could be a stereo inside of it.

Keeping campaign promises would be a better first.

[huffposeur]

yeesh, HP does its readers a disservice by relying on the wapo take on this. the real story is that in ten months in office obama has tied george w. bush in rounds of golf played as president.

in eight years in office bush only played 24 rounds of golf. barack obama has tied him after only ten months in office!

Just another example of why barack obama is superior to george w. bush in every way.

I really don't want my husband coming along when go out with the girls. How many women feel this way? Almost all of you-right! So how about giving men equal rights too.

Date night this week promises to be real interesting.

[apoyo]

Why does she have to carry her own golf bag?

[wft21]

Cause it's must real golf and not lazy golf.

Well here's one good thing about Obama golfing so much:

It makes his bowling and pitching look a LOT better:
