Oh, the humiliation. Once not so long ago one of the world's top celebrities in his own right, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle did not make the cut for invitations to the royal wedding in London next spring.
On April 29 in Westminster Abbey with all the grace and pageantry sure to capture international imaginations, commoner Kate Middleton will marry Prince William, son of Princess Diana. And don't forget the horsedrawn carriage perhaps.

A huge plus for them. He should be the next King of England, young and yet smart beyond his years.
The following is from www.reaganlibrary.com:
“The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981, was one of the most celebrated spectacles of the decade. Due to the recent attempt on his life, President Reagan could not attend, but he encouraged Mrs. Reagan to serve as the United States representative at the event. Mrs. Reagan spent one week in London, which is the longest she had been away from her husband in twenty-nine years. She attended eighteen events on behalf of the nation, including a ball at Buckingham Palace, a dinner at the American Embassy, tea with the Queen Mother, and lunch with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. She also placed flowers at the Memorial to Britain’s Unknown Soldier and visited a veterans’ hospital. “

They should invite all the Bush family.
What would Odumbo give them for a wedding present? Another iPod or a collection of DVDs?
Hey! The characters in The Beverly Hillbillies were good hearted folk!
Any truth to the rumor that the Queen is too frail to survive another back slap from Michelle?
You are soooo bad, you're good!

Obama who?
I’m generally neutral about the British royalty.
But I stand and cheer this move!!!
rotflmao!
Thanks for the info!
It might be safe to assume that the Queen was not amused with the iPod Obummer gave her, preloaded with his speeches.
It’s okay. They’ll be invited to barbecue at Farrakhan’s backyard.
