Obama May Get Rejected From Golf Club Over Isreal Policies

http://nypost.com/2017/01/10/obama-may-get-rejected-from-golf-club-over-israel-policies/


"President Obama’s clashes with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may cost him a membership at an exclusive golf club, sources said.

Obama is looking to join the elite Woodmont Country Club in Maryland once he becomes a private citizen.

But members of the mostly Jewish club are at each other’s throats over whether to accept the golf-loving president, with many saying he deserves to be snubbed for not blocking an anti-Israel vote at the United Nations, according to the sources.

Obama’s UN decision was followed by a speech by Secretary of State John Kerry that was seen by many in the Jewish community as hostile to Israel."

As far as I am concerned, NY Post is just another fake news outlet.

Typical fox style of reporting, "some sources say"

Netanyahu is Israel's version of trump, and the majority of American Jews do NOT agree with Netanyahu. It started when Netanyahu opposed the Iran deal, and got worse when he campaigned for Romney in Florida, and snubbed President Obama in the republican Congress.

Awww....will Obama be able to hold back the tears?? I doubt he would care one bit if he were to be excluded by this club if this is the reason for them to want to exclude him!
