Obama's Golf Club

We all know that Obama spends more time on the golf course than he does trying to working as our President.  I am not sure if Obama really belongs to a private golf club, but what if he did?  If so, here is what he might be having to deal with.

Obama worked hard and saved his money so that he could pay the initiation fees required to join his favorite golf club.  Joining the golf club was the economic reward for working so hard and saving responsibly.  Besides just playing golf, the club provided other benefits to Obama, his family and his friends.  He and his family often had dinner at the golf club and when is daughter got married, they had the wedding party at the club.  No young girl, as wells her father could have asked for more.  The event would be remembered for generations.

The way that most private golf clubs work is that the members elect a President and a board of directors to operate the golf club.  It is a lot like how governments work.  Obama's golf club has been in business for over 250 years and many people would like to join, but the initiation fee and the monthly dues are quite high.  The members all have do work hard and save their money in order to become members.  Not only does this golf club have a very nice golf course, but a restaurant, bar, tennis courts and a swimming pool.  It can be use by member families, their guests and for parties like weddings and graduations.  It cost a lot, but it is worth it.

One day Obama showed up at his private golf course expecting to get a "T" time in a few minutes, but he found that there was a long line of golfers ahead of him.  He asked the Pro what was going on and he said that the new President opened the golf course to poor people in the area.  Obama finally got a "T", but was disgusted with the new President's unilateral actions.

After Obama played his round of golf, he went to see the club President to find out what was going on.  He asked the President what was going on and he told Obama that he noticed that there were a lot of  poor golfers in the community who would enjoy playing at a nice private golf club rather than at the local public golf courses.  Obama got mad and told the new President that it was not fair that he had to work hard and save his money so that he could play on the golf course and these poor people in the community got in for "free".  Why should he have to pay and these other people got every thing that he paid for free!!   Obama was getting madder and madder.  Obama knew that the club had been in business for 250 years and was built by the due of all those members before and now this new President picked people off the street and made the equal to him.  This was bull shit.

Obama went home and told his wife about the situation.  She reminded him that they were planning on having their other daughter's wedding party at the golf club and just got a telephone call from the manager that her scheduled party had been canceled so that some poor people off the street could have one of their birthday parties.  She also said that the club manager told her that Obama's lunch with his group of lawyers was canceled too.  "What the hell is going on", Obama said.  He was going to go to the board of directors to see what they can  do. 

Just then the phone rang from a friend and member of the golf club.  He said that he had already talked to the board of directors and was told that they had no authority to over rule the President.

Now, Obama is starting to understand why most of the people in the USA are pissed off about his. decision to let a bunch of illegal Mexicans into the USA where they can use all the facilities and programs paid for over a period of 250 years by USA tax payers.  We are pissed off.

PS---A week later, Obama got a letter from the golf club manager that the dues were being increased to pay for the extra  cost of allowing all the non-members to play and use the golf course facilities for free. (side note) The golf club President said that allowing non-paying members of the public to play on and use the golf club facilities would "not" cause any increase in dues.  Very interesting?
