Barry will announce a “scheduling conflict”

President Ronald Reagan would have been front and center....

IIRC, only Nancy Reagan attended Chuck and Di's wedding. I can't recall if Reagan was invited and demurred, or if the invite wasn't extended for whatever reason.

Westminster Abbey is sacred to the British/English. Some people do not understand history or hallowed ground.

Westminster Abbey, located near the Houses of Parliament, ... The abbey’s nave is England’s highest. In the nave you find the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, a World War I soldier who died on the battlefields in France and was buried here in French(!) soil. Nearby is a marble memorial stone for Winston Churchill.

Thank you for posting the link. It’s important to keep stories of Obama’s buffoonery alive and well.

But they're so well behaved in high society...

Just a coincidence? German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has been a major critic of Obama's calls for more economic stimulus packages, was seated next to the president.

Merkel drew the short straw.

Thanks for refreshing my recollection! :)

An interesting link on the subject which touches on the Reagans' relationship with the royals...

Maybe they looked at 0bama’s record of failure and don’t want him adversely effecting the future bride and groom.

[angcat]

I bet they invite President Bush.

Obama said he wished they would be as happy together as his parents. /jokingly
