Do you know that President Barack Obama was not invited to the Royal Wedding held at England on Friday. Can you tell me the reason.
Re: Why Was President Barack Obama Not Invited. by zstranger: 2:47am On May 01, 2011
Because he is Black, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Did they invite Odechukwu?
Re: Why Was President Barack Obama Not Invited. by tpia5: 2:48am On May 01, 2011
they only invited traditional heads of state, not elected ones.

or so i heard.

i'm not sure, however- that info could be wrong.

in any case, not a big deal.

it also seems the wedding wasnt considered an official state affair since william wasnt the immediate heir to the throne.

i dont know much about all these protocols.

It had been known for months that Obama family would not be attending the wedding because he is due to be in UK 3rd week in May. People shld inform themselves before coming up with conspiracy theories

They claim it's because Prince William isn'rt the next in line to the throne. . .

Seriously, I personally think many of the world leaders weren't really invited.

I am sure he has more important things to handle.
Re: Why Was President Barack Obama Not Invited. by Nobody: 7:39am On May 03, 2011
For security reasons, so said CNN
Re: Why Was President Barack Obama Not Invited. by ragdollz: 8:22am On May 03, 2011
@jennykadry, exactly! Just thinking about the massive security detail that would be necessary for him and ANY other president for that matter cheesy. When a "reigning" president attends ur wedding, better be ready for the mega security issues involved, lol
Re: Why Was President Barack Obama Not Invited. by Nobody: 9:00am On May 03, 2011
LOL I wondered same like why he did not attend the wedding, not until CNN confirmed that it was because of security issues did I really know what happened.

Is not true my dear.
Prince Williams was made immediate heir to the throne after his father (Prince Charles) re-married to Camilla.
So, guys be informed and that was why the wedding was elaborate

Unfortunately, you are the one who needs to get informed.
Prince Charles is still heir apparent, Camilla or not. William is only second in line to the throne as king of the Commonwealth Nations.

Re: Why Was President Barack Obama Not Invited. by Nobody: 3:05pm On May 03, 2011
BBC said 'only leaders of comnmon wealth nations were invited'
Why are Nigerians taking this so personal , I have heard this question from at least 6 Nigerians, o gini??

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were not invited as well undecided

No big deal in Obama not getting an invite
