Obamas are not invited...

So apparently Prince William and his fiance Kate Middleton have decided to not invite the First family to their wedding in April. And why is this worth mentioning? Well apparently the American news reporters are having a field day about it. Just search it on a search engine and, voila! There it is. The official reasoning is that they want to fill Westminster Abbey's 2,000 seats with charity workers and other "common" people, however several "big-wigs" are invited. I've heard, though I cannot remember the source, that the Prince does not want the Obamas there because he does not want Michelle Obama to upstage his wife-to-be (Personally, I think that was probably just a more diplomatic way of saying she's a bitch and that he doesn't want her there at all). Also, I've heard that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, said that she does not want the Obamas there because they refuse to show proper respect for royalty, such as the customary bowing. The Obamas refused to bow to the Queen, but were okay with bowing to the Saudi king. Yes, Michelle was not under any obligation to curtsy, however it is respectful, just like not touching the Queen is expected. I have a feeling that if the Queen really does not want them there, it has something to do with the First Lady touching the Queen on their visit.
