The new CEO of IBN

It’s stuff like this that drives me nuts.

President Barack Obama said  that women should now be admitted as members to the PRIVATE all-male Augusta National, home of the Masters, a White House spokesman said on Thursday.

“Of course. I am not a member of Augusta. I don’t know if I would qualify. My golf game is not that good,” Romney said at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania. “If I could run Augusta, which isn’t likely to happen, of course I’d have women.”

Also, a previous republican Presidential Candidate, John McCain tweeted this:

“Don’t you think it’s time Augusta National joined the 21st century – or the 20th – and allowed women members?”

My response is, “Don’t you think it’s time for the federal government to leave private business to private businesses?” Nevertheless, that is over 140 characters.

This all started after IBN, a longtime sponsor of the club, got a new female CEO, Virginia Rometty.
