It looks like President Obama could use an Etch a Sketch to erase his former aversion to golfing with women. He decided to insert himself into the debate over whether or not Augusta should allow women to golf there. He’s all for it. But it’s unclear whether if he golfs there he’ll invite any women to join him.
Obama played 23 rounds of golf between January and October of 2009 before inviting a single woman to his foursome, the New York Timesreported. This was emblematic of broader concerns over the president’s preference for the company and advice of men:

Like the typical liberal, Barack Obama appears to believe that free choice is only his perogative. That is he can choose with whom he plays golf or other sports. But whoa, a private club like Augusta should not be allowed to choose their own members.
The alleged professor of constitutional law appears to have forgotten that the First Amendment protects the Right of Free Association..

No, he did not forget. He was using this excuse like everything else he talks about to devide the country into sides so he can get a particular voting block (in this case, female golfers) pulling the handle with his name on it.
Rights, the Constitution and the truth have no part in his campaign unless it suits him at that particular moment.
