I got my invitation last month...
After Mic****e Obama's tacky gift of an Ipod to the Queen,
I wouldn't invite them either.
Skippy
He also sent a bust of Churchill the Brits had loaned Bush back, and acted sort of flippant when they met the queen.
why would the obama;s have been invited?
kate and the prince don't know them.. it's a wedding, their wedding... it should be friends and family - people the couple wants to be there....not just another state dinner. who's invited is there business, and shouldn't be a matter of public record, i don't care WHO they are. even brits are entitled to a little privacy
i wouldn't invite obama to my wedding.... not because i don't like him or because i want to publicly Dis him... but because i don't ******* KNOW him...i don't know Al Pacino, so i wouldn't invite him, either.
These nitwits will post any fool thing that they think is negative about BO. Don't pay attention to them.
They didn't invite Sarkozy either. They only invited ROYAL, not POLITICAL heads of state. But my question to all of you is this: Why do you care?
Because they're Knuckleheads.

Funny, many past US presidents were invited to royal weddings, though few went.
They probably didn't invite Sarkozy because his wife could upstage the bride.

Most Presidents and Prime Ministers either don't get invited or don't go.
Actually they invited some really sleazy guests. I doubt the young couple had any thing to do with it.

British Royal Wedding invites at least 8 dictators
April 24, 2011 8:27 PM EDT
The British royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton has invited at least eight dictators, including some that have brutally cracked down on protestors during the 2011 Middle East / North Africa unrest.
The invitation that provoked the fiercest outcry was the one to The Crown Prince of Bahrain, whose regime has killed several protesters and injured hundreds in bloody crackdowns.
Other invited royals whose regimes were embroiled in suppressing protestors in 2011 include Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Morocco.
In total, invited royals to the wedding who are dictators – according to the categorization of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index – number at least eight.
Below is the list of the dictators:
The Crown Prince of Bahrain - Democracy Index rank 122 out of 167 countries
Sheikh Ahmad Hmoud Al-Sabah of Kuwait - Democracy Index rank 114 out of 167 countries
Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco - Democracy Index rank 116 out of 167 countries
Sayyid Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman - Democracy Index rank 143 out of 167 countries

If the Obamas did go, then they would complain about how much it cost.
B, they may be dictators, but they are all "royalty". Princes, princesses, sheiks, kings. They didn't invite presidents or prime ministers. They didn't even invite Tony Blair.
Once again, why do you care? Why should anyone care? Should the French be insulted because their president wasn't invited? Should anyone be insulted if they weren't invited?
Admit it, this is just another lame excuse to bash Obama. And I DO mean lame!
Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton all were invited to royal weddings.
Why not Obama?
Because THIS time, they are not inviting political heads of state! Can't you get that through your head? This is a "small" wedding by royal standards. They are not inviting anywhere NEAR the number of people as they did in the past for royal weddings.
So, why do YOU care?

Nah, if Bush can be blamed for everything that happened for 8 years, Obama is due.
Personally, I don't care. Too bad the young couple can't elope.
They should, and she shouldn't wear white.
That said, the debauchery of English monarchs long ago is on par with the Kennedys and Bill Clinton.
He doesn't deserve to go. Giving the Queen DVD's of all his speech's? He's not worth the paper to print the invitation on.

White signifies purity, not chastity. Blue signifies chastity. That's why Mary is usually depicted wearing a blue cloak.

You left out yourself.
Based on past behavior of the Obamas, the Brits were just trying to protect "we the people" from humiliation, no doubt they would have caused a spectacle.
To be fair, the US ambassador is invited.
