President Obama Rejected From Top NY Golf Courses Over Labor Day Weekend

President Obama was turned down at several top golf courses in Westchester while he was visiting the area over Labor Day weekend...

The Trump National Golf Club, the Winged Foot and Willow Ridge were among some of the elite courses that rebuffed the president's request to tee off there...

Club managers apparently did not want to inconvenience their high-powered and high-paying members over Labor Day weekend by shutting down their courses to accommodate the president.

Hell, I'd be upset if my local muni closed down on a holiday weekend just to accommodate some egocentric empty suit.

The president was in town Aug. 29, a Friday, for fundraising events in New York and Rhode Island. He had been scheduled to stay overnight in Westchester County in order to attend the Saturday evening wedding of MSNBC host Alex Wagner and White House chef Sam Kass at Blue Hill Farm.

The sources said the White House advance team was giving the clubs just a day or two notice to fill the president’s open Saturday morning in New York....

Let's see. It's Labor Day weekend. Tee times have been booked well in advance, and this pompous asshole thinks he can just waltz in and blow away everyone's plans? Take a hike, barry.

Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest times of year for golf courses, and with membership at some area clubs exceeding $100,000, many courses may not have wanted to displace its members on a weekend when they would have wanted to play.

If my members were paying $100K I'd be more worried about keeping them happy than that SCOAMF.

On Aug. 28, White House officials announced the president was changing his plans and that he would return to Washington Friday night instead of staying over in New York.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained the change that Friday as a last-minute decision by Obama to "make the late evening flight back here home to the White House."

Changes to the schedule resulted in the cancellation of some hotel rooms and a re-routing of police security details. The President returned to Westchester Saturday afternoon with a round-trip flight on Air Force One from Washington to New York, the second in as many days.

Oh, great. Because barry couldn't weasel his way onto a course we the taxpayers get stuck with paying for an extra round trip Air Force One flight - not to mention all the ancillary expenses. What a douchebag.

The White House declined to comment Tuesday.

There's not a hell of a lot they could say.
