| #12 Because they are the kind of people who are crass enough to ask. |

| #11 Really, can you note a better effort at leadership legitimacy for the House of Windsor than denying the pompous Prince of British Hate a soapbox? |

| #10 Because William had made it clear who was NOT invited to his wedding to the rest of the Royal Family. |

| #9 What can they give? Used underwear, like Bill Clinton. Therefore only friends and family are invited, not heads of state. http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=4315992 Then there will be 200 members of government, parliament and the diplomatic corps, as well as 60 governors-general and prime ministers from Commonwealth countries, and 30 members of the British military. Hey, didn't America once have a king with a last name suspiciously like the one in Britain? And Kenya too. |

| #8 Why weren't the Obamas invited to the Royal Wedding? Prince William is merely third in line to the throne, not the heir, so this is not a state affair. Therefore only friends and family are invited, not heads of state. It is unseemly to be fussing over such things, especially when Mrs. Obama's husband has made it clear he loathes the British ruling class for the sins of their fathers against his. |

| #6 Michelle Zerobama gives these nasty friendly pats on the back. Elisabeth II is still bruised. |

| #4 Michelle Obama even said a few weeks ago on "Live With Regis and Kelly" that, "if I get invited, I'll go," as close to begging as this regal First Lady gets *gag* really? That nagging hypocritical wookie in clown clothes and boob belts? Regal? |

| #3 The prince already has an ipod? And will have better things to do at night than listen to Obama's greatest speeches.... |

| #1 Turn the question around. Why would you want to invite the Obamas? I wouldn't even want them at my patio barbecue. |
