Obamas not invited to UK royal wedding: report
NY Post ^ | 12/17/2010

US President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, will not be invited to the London wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Britain's the Daily Mail reported Friday.

Since Prince William is "neither the sovereign or the heir to the throne," according to a spokesman from St. James' Palace, his April 29 wedding is not classified as a "state occasion" and escapes the more formal trappings of such events -- including the high profile guest list.

Obama probably doesn’t care but I bet Michelle is seething at the slight. Good show Brits!

Zero hates the British almost as much as Americans, so why would he merit an invitation?

A good yarn to expalin away what they won’t say, which is they don’t want the embarrassment of having Dear Leader and his wookie at what will doubtlessly be a class event.

I’ve always suspected the British royal family was nothing but a bunch of racists...

This is Obama we're talking about.

Of course he cares. They both do.

Oh no! I bet Michelle already had her hat picked out. One with a boob belt wrapped around it.

It looks like the royal couple only want to invite important people to their wedding.

If the first wookie were there it would break the long standing tradition that the bridesmaids wear the ugliest dresses at the wedding.

lol she really does come up with the most tasteless outfits and the few that were decent didn’t look good on her.

"This is Obama we're talking about. Of course he cares."

Your probably right, but because he wanted to stiff them by blowing off the invite. They beat him to the puch. It any event it's always nice to get some good news on a friday.

What are the odds that by the time the wedding invitations are sent, President Joe Biden receives one.
