Well, this is sort of true, but I like it!

Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding: President Barack Obama and Michelle are not invited!

Michelle is livid over the snub and Obama can’t believe it…
What is happening and what can I do about it seems to be the thoughts in Obama’s head.
Meanwhile, William and Kate have it together.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are planning a royal wedding April 2011. Prince William personally told the wedding planners to strike the Obama’s from the guest list. He stated, “He did not want Michelle Obama trying to pull her center of attention ploy trying to upstage Kate on Kate’s wedding day”. Sources reveal that William states, “She may run Obama, but she doesn’t run him or England ”. The Democrats and Obama would like to play the race card as they have done so many times in America, but it is difficult when other black heads of states are invited to the wedding and will be warmly received.

Now, what is the future King of England’s reasons for snubbing the Obama’s to the world and making them a laughing stock? It has nothing to do with America beyond being so stupid as to elect such low class imperfection to the office of President and First Lady. The decisions that they make can and will affect the world. Secondly, Michelle called his mother, Diana, an over-sexed clothes horse and further stated that she, Michelle, was more popular than Diana ever was. Thirdly, Michelle Obama showed her butt at every major social function endeavoring to be the Queen in the lime light. In other words, just a lack of class. Fourthly, the Queen Mother, William’s grand mother, also has her reasons. Obama refused to bow to her but a few days later bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia and Michelle manhandled her by becoming too familiar by putting her arm around her. The Queen only shakes hands with gloves on… That is the tradition and it is still honored by the Royals. The Queen said to her staff, “Never allow that woman to be in the same room with me again” and she meant every word of it. The gifts from Obama and Michelle were both tacky and in poor taste… It is all a matter of class. In addition, the Queen Mother supported Prince William in his decision due to the fact that the word is out about the lavish booze parties at the White House, the expensive vacations and state visits that cost the American tax payers millions of dollars un-necessarily when the American people need the resources… We can’t decide if it is just low class, no class, or all that has just been mentioned.

The Obama’s are desperately trying to make it a slight against America. Every past Head of State has always been invited… This is not a state function and William is not yet a Sovereign. It is just a multi-million dollar private wedding and the Obama’s have been royally snubbed by the British Royals; not America, just the present classless leaders …

ASK FACTCHECK
Q: Is it true the Obamas will not be invited to Prince William’s wedding for fear Michelle will upstage Kate Middleton?
A: No. The official guest list has not been released. A British newspaper quoted an unnamed source as saying the Obamas are not on the list, but that "could change."

Didn't G-Dubyah hug the queen?

But they probably just want to keep it classy. That and the Obamas seem to be attention whores.

 

[Tadpole]

I don't know. But if that big ugly thing tried to hug me, I would run like hell, afraid she might eat me.

I've been keeping up with this. I very strongly suspect this is bogus because it is politics. The Greek royal family has already announced they received a "save the date", as have other country leaders. I can't see the royal family snubbing the US. It's not the person here but the office.

Having said that, William has made the definitive decision that his and Kate's life will be different. And for the most part that is being encouraged after the train wreck marriage of his parents. Lessons were cruely learned. I have heard this wedding will be a family and friends affair moreso than the political dog and pony show as in the past. So it could go either way but again, if all countries are invited, I highly doubt the Obamas will be excluded. They would be handled quite firmly if anything.

They would be handled quite firmly if anything.

How can you handle something with the consistency of jello firmly?

 

[Cat]

LOL. But I've watched the British royals since Diana's wedding in 1981. That is my first vivid "watch the news all day" memory. I'm confident the Obama's will not get any more attention than the camera panning over them as they enter the church. In fact unless they are invited to the palace, I doubt they'll ever even shake hands with the family. That's why I think if it becomes a "state ceremony" they will not be excluded. But it isn't state, William isn't the heir (yet) and they have much more leeway with how they want their wedding to be.

Now if they invited the past living US presidents, but not the Obamas... that would be interesting.

 

[Cat]

Now THAT would be interesting.

I wouldn’t invite those Monkeys either……….

I wouldn’t invite those Monkeys either……….

What an embaeassment if someone tried to open a beer bottle on the missus's teefus's

Really scarier ( word ? ) is that over half the US voters think these two are cooler 'n Chuck Norris

He may have done, I don't know- but the incident I recall was obamas ol lady putting her arm around queenie causing a right royal stir.

 

[Cat]

Yup. No touching the Queen, ever. Small children along a parade route may be an exception but Michele broke protocol bad that trip.

I don't know. But if that big ugly thing tried to hug me, I would run like hell, afraid she might eat me.

Which one?

The Queen, or Michelle?

Snopes says this isn't a state wedding, heads of state are not being invited, and William and Kate wanted a "peoples wedding."

Also, QEII initiated the contact.

No...Snopes does'nt say that at all.
It says "State Occasion" - ....their wedding is not classed as a "State Occasion", a designation that would require a much stricter protocol

Nor does it say "heads of state are not being invited" - "few heads of state are likely to be invited to the wedding"


I'll say it again.
Snopes is run by a Canadian couple.
They are staunch liberals.

So going to their site to find out whether something is true or not is no different than asking Joe Shmoe at the corner shop.
...good grief Charlie Brown

 

[Jed]

.....and whether she initiated the contact or not, ole fat ass broke with protocol BIG TIME

That's what I said. But *if* other heads of state are invited, then I can't see the Obamas being singularly excluded. Two weeks ago, a news article stated several individuals confirmed they received a faxed save the date, this included royal families of other countries. Which is why I'm not sure they wont be This snub story began on Dec 17th, three weeks before the faxes went out.

They may not be invited but not for the reasons listed here.

What hasn't been said in this thread is that the Queen hugged Michelle in return.
