No invite for the Obamas as the Queen personally asks 40 other heads of state to attend...wedding
Daily Mail ^ | 2/20/11 | Staff

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle have not been invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.

The Queen personally invited 40 heads of state, who received the gold-embossed invitations over the weekend to the April 29 wedding of the future king.

The Obamas, however, were not among them.

But they can take solace in the knowledge that they will be the guests of their very own state visit to the UK in May.

There have been suggestions that the state visit – the first for a US President since 2003 – was set up in return for Obama not coming to the wedding because of the added security costs involved with protecting the President.

French Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni will also miss out and Prince Andrew’s former wife, Sarah Ferguson – the Duchess of York – has also been snubbed.

Happy to see we’ve recovered the respect of the rest of the world that we lost when Bush was President.

Glad to see that they are not going to invite them “in the name of civility”.

Barky hates the English. He’s a anti-colonialist at heart.
Barky, like all democRats, will appease all of America’s enemies while attacking all her allies.

As a Jacobite, I have had scant regard for the Hannoverian dynasty.

Until now.

God save the Queen of England.

With the way the obamas have treated the British, I wouldn't invite the sleazebags either.

Hopefully this will spread and heads of state all over will begin shunning them entirely.

O’bama I understand, because of “added security costs involved with protecting the President”, and because he’s a first-class ^&!$D(H!!! who has spit on Britain every chance he got.

But why Sarkozy?

Good on the Brits!!! I'm glad they dissed the usurper and his wife. Sorry to see that he's the face of our country that the world sees. At least the UK freepers realize how much Mr & Mrs Soetoro are despised by a growing segment of this country.

She has. During years when Britain was more threatened than any time since before the Armada.

The Queen got a stomach full from the iPod loaded with Obama’s speeches.
