How ironic would it be if President Obama is rejected by the Woodmont Country Club for not blocking the UN's anti-Israel vote?

Woodmont was founded by the DC-area Jewish community in 1913 precisely because Jews were banned at other clubs. One member said, “After the UN vote and attack on Israel, I think it probably hurts the club. If there is a club that excludes Jews, he would probably be more comfortable around those folks.”

    Actually, the thrust of the resolution is "oh poor Palestinians." Pffft.

    He wouldn't be excluded but he would be expected to wear a yarmulke and grow payot.

    Hello Stu:

    Right wing fundamentalist Jews are as bonkers as ANY right wing fundamentalist group...  As a reformed Jew, ALL would be welcome at MY club.

    But how do you know that members of the Woodmont club are fundamentalist Jews? My guess is that they're not too religious/observant, especially if they play golf on Saturdays.

    Hello again, Stu:

    Exclusion is a right wing notion, and right wing Jews tend to be Orthodox.

    But we have no way of knowing that these people are Orthodox. I wouldn't expect Ortho Jews to play golf.

    Well, there's always that nice golf course out in Loudoun County Virginia that he could join. I think it's called Trump National Golf Course. No?
