President Obama tried to get a tee time at New York golf courses, got turned down
President Obama took some heat last month when he went golfing almost immediately after delivering a statement denouncing the beheading of U.S. journalist James Foley by Islamic militants. That hasn’t stopped Obama from continuing to hit the links when he has a moment to spare.
Finding a course is apparently an entirely different problem. NBC 4 in New York has the scoop on Obama’s failed attempts to play over Labor Day weekend:
President Obama was turned down at several top golf courses in Westchester while he was visiting the area over Labor Day weekend, sources tell NBC 4 New York.
The Trump National Golf Club, the Winged Foot and Willow Ridge were among some of the elite courses that rebuffed the president’s request to tee off there, according to several sources who were told about the president’s advance team’s calls to the club managers.

5. Blacks still not allowed on some golf courses, eh?
When in our history has the President of the United States been refused entry into any club? Trump National Golf Club elite courses? Oh yeah. That would be when the president is BLACK.
This president has been disrespected more than any other president in the history of the United States. And we all know why that is.

7. How he manages to carry on in the midst of constant obstruction and disrespect is beyond me.
An occasional game of Golf should not be too much to ask for. I hope I am right in assuming no racial overtones? As events transpire I am not so certain?

8. Why do I feel
that if it had been a white republican POTUS, they would have cleared the course for them. But that would be playing the race card, wouldn't it?

I bet not getting special treatment really pissed him off......and he called IRS so they could put them on their Shiite list.

24. How it should have read
"club managers did not want to inconvenience their high powered and high paying (white) members by shutting down the course to accommodate the (black) POTUS". Yep, that's the truth. With all of the racist disrespect and hate vomited on this POTUS in the last six years, not really a stretch. Bush and darth would NOT have been refused. Period.

Hmmmm.....
Crushing: The golf industry fights the Obama administration
How’s this for a hook: The golf industry is fighting the Obama administration.
Multiple golf organizations, including the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, are part of a group lobbying against a proposed EPA-Army Corps of Engineers rule they say will harm the game. The “Waters of the United States†rule, issued in April, aims to settle what jurisdiction the federal government has over bodies of water under the Clean Water Act — and whereas the administration says the rule amounts to a “clarification†in the wake of recent Supreme Court rulings, the golf industry sees it as a dangerous encroachment.

6. No, they didn't want to shut down the club for their own members on a holiday weekend.

11. right
BS-- If it had been a WHITE republican POTUS, maybe same color Democrat, would've cleared the ****ing course. With all the white disrespect and hate shown toward my POTUS in the last SIX years, that is a distinct possibility. Who are you trying to mollify and why? This is obvious disrespect of a POTUS and that fact slaps me in the face?

15. You've obviously never worked at or run a golf course.
Labor Day weekend is huge. An arrangement for a single individual like that would be extremely difficult to pull off last minute.
Many tee times for that weekend are booked over a month in advance.

29. This is the president of the United States - and a Trump elite golf course.
You remember Trump, don't you? That racist TeaBagger Birther who was crying all over a very empathetic MSM, demanding to see President Obama's birth certificate but refused to look at it when it was presented to him personally? Yeah. Refusing the president to tee off on one of his golf courses had got nothing to do with his deep dislike of black people - most specifically, this president.

31. I don't think so, either.
Unfortunately, there are some here on Democratic Underground who believe this blatant racist move had nothing to do with racism but everything to do with "scheduling". Scheduling? Yeah. Right.

35. It has nothing to do with race.
On any other weekend and/or with enough advance notice, courses would line up for the prestige and publicity a POTUS brings.
Labor day weekends are a different story especially with a short notice.
It is almost like a restaurant with reservations and hungry people outside being asked to turn them away for the POTUS and his entourage. (Not a good analogy because it is easier for restaurant patrons to find another restaurant and nearly impossible to find another golf course)
-
And had this been a Republican POTUS of any color, they would have been screaming about privilege.
You really can't win for losing with that crowd.

Dear DUmbasses...your shallow stupidity makes me smile.

You have to consider that the enviro-nuts in the muslim's administration are trying to force golf courses to stop using water, fertilizer, and weedkiller. That makes him unpopular enough in the golf community, aside from being a black muslim.
The recent U.S. Open tournament, on the horribly enviro-butchered Pinehurst No. 2 course is an example of that.
Anyway, having been rebuffed in trying to shut down elite New York country clubs on the most popular Saturday morning of the year, the muslim got back at whitey.
He fired up Air Force One on Friday afternoon and flew back to D.C.
After a round of golf Saturday morning, he fired her up again and flew back to New York Saturday night for the wedding of one of the PMSNBC moonbats.
Hundreds of thousands of white devils were inconvenienced by the traffic gridlocks produced by his back-and-forth golf commutes, but piss on them. They're New Yorkers who voted for him.

Dear Leader drags his feet when he's on the greens and doesn't replace his divots.
I don't blame them for not wanting him there.

"Bushieboy the lesser and darth" wouldn't have been boorish enough to have ASKED them to do it. Given the same current circumstances Obumbles finds himself in, playing a round of golf would be the last thing the accursed BOOOOOSH would be thinking of doing.
Meanwhile Teh Won is rapidly gaining on Tiger Woods for the number of rounds of golf played since 2008. Oh well, it's not as though he had anything else more important to do, like his job or something.

Newsflash for you there treestar, most people don't get a tingle down their leg at the thought of meeting your Obamessiah. A golf course shutting down one of its busiest days of the year just to facilitate One patron is a losing proposition.
P.S. I thought dissent was patriotic? :bigbird:

Poor, poor, King Putt. Guess he'll need to pony up some of OUR money to play:
Initiation Fee: $200,000
Trump National Golf Club Westchester is located in Briarcliff Manor, New York and was designed by Jim Fazio. It’s no surprise to see another Trump course on this list. Initiation fees for his Westchester club are $200,000.

Why would a golf club want its course flooded with Secret Service agents and "reporters"?
Why would a golf club want sections of its course closed to other members and guest for security reasons?
Why would a golf club want its access streets/roads closed for security reasons?
Why would a golf club take last-minute reservations?
Why would a golf club want its access and course partially or entirely shut down for longer than promised by a President who is so notoriously late that he was probably late for his own wedding?
One thing that's kind of amusing ... DU-folk and Libs/Progs generally will have a hard time making a Bush did it too! argument on this. And that has to be galling!

I seem to remember someone here posting that President Bush giving up playing golf sometime in 2003, saying something along the lines of it being disrespectful to our troops in the field at the time.
That is . . . well, respectful and classy. :cheersmate:

Indeed it is.
President George W. Bush, who routinely allowed journalists to accompany him on golf outings early in his presidency, told Politico in May 2008 that he decided to give up the game in August 2003 after a bomb attack on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad that killed a top U.N. official.
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf,†Bush said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them.â€
“And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong message,†Bush said.
http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2011/08/23/remember_when_president_bush_gave_up_golf
But I bet that won't stop the DUmmie ****tards from making up a lie and using it to get themselves good and pissed off.
I certainly hope they're looking at this thread and enjoy having the classlessness of their tin god rubbed in their faces. :-)

President Bush did give up Golf when Gulf War II began. He didn't play a round after that. Obama can't miss even one round after a conference about the beheading of an American Journalist.
The Bushes Father and Son are people I could definitely play Golf with, they play speed golf, almost Polo off the golf carts. They take it as a personal insult if it takes more than 4 hours to play 18. Clinton and Obama consider a 6 hour round quick. There is a book out there on Presidential golf that explains the personality difference.

Having your sperm fertilize an egg doesn’t make you a daddy. It only makes you a biological father. It takes fatherly actions on your part to truly be a daddy.
Likewise, being elected by a bunch of fruit loops, repeat voters, and dead people doesn’t make you a president. It just makes you the holder of the office. It takes presidential actions on your part to truly be a president.
Maybe he’s not being respected to your satisfaction because to normal and decent people he has not performed many presidential actions.
And for the record, I don’t consider caving to terrorists, running guns to cartels, lying to the public, and those sort of things as being presidential. Some have compared Bumbles to Nero fiddling while Rome burned, but I disagree. At least Nero only fiddled. He didn't continue gleefully tossing fuel on the fire.
Of course, I'm just a fictional spirit-guide so what do I know?

I agree, only in America can the man who loves his country and tried his best to protect and elevate the country be called ChimpyBushHitler, Shrub, Dim Son, and much, much worse.
With that out of the way I feel my fictional spirit-guiding duties are complete and would like to take a moment to enter my personal thoughts.
I'm sick and tired of you butt-banging, perverted, terrorist supporting, useless wastes of air who are too stupid to realize that if your wetdream of our destruction were to come to pass that your free ride on the gubmint gravy train would grind to a halt. The level of your ignorance and stupidity simply amazes me. When you add in your egotistical hypocrisy to the mix it comes out like that cat shit stew that one of your DUmmie ilk was so proud of a while back.
Let me break it down some for you empty headed hatefilled snots. The current holder of the office is the best president that a lot of the countries who want to kill us has ever had. There are not scared of him. They don't respected him. And in many cases they know that he'll assle around and do something in their favor instead of ours.
More succinctly, having a holder of office who is a better president to your enemies than he is your country is bad. Bad like running out of Cheetos with part of a joint still left to smoke. Bad like the predictions of Pied Piper Pitt.
Now, on the anniversary of the day that the people you would support killed a whole lot of innocent Americans I offer to you, DU, a very sincere **** YOU!

I have always thought that everyone in the U.S.A. was supposedly equal...that includes the president. He puts his pants on one leg at a time like everyone else.. I wouldn't be overwhelmed in the presence on the president like the DUmmies would. That is why the founding fathers gave us a president and not a king. The DUmmies would wish us to have a king. If you don't believe me, just look at how they worship Obama.
