Try to get this through your head?

Prince Charles' wedding was the wedding of the heir to the throne. Hence, State Wedding. Hence, heads of government were invited.

Prince William's wedding is not a State Wedding, because he's not the (current) heir to the throne. No heads of government invited. No PMs, no Chancellors, no Presidents who act as heads of government.

Is this somehow hard?

I tried posting that earlier, and it went right over the head of the OP. When you are so filled with hate, actual logic, and critical thinking is indeed very hard.

Exactly.

If Queen Elizabeth was "mad" at President Obama, then why would she invite the President and First Lady for a visit in May?

And why would she invite the President and First Lady to stay at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle if she were "mad" at the Obams?

And why would the Queen of England hold a state dinner in honor of President Obama if she were "mad" at him?

You mean Non-British Commonwealth PM's? Australia's PM was there, as were many other Prime Ministers and Governer Generals from the Commonwealth (We actually had both our PM and GG there).

Was Trump invited, nope, how about Palin, no again, can anyone name one rightwing leader or talkinghead that was invited, no, I wonder why.
Dumbest thread on the board, for the moment.

By chance do you know why in Commonwealth realms both the Governor General and the Prime Minister were invited, but in Overseas Territories (ie: Bermuda, Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, etc) the invitations only went to the Chief Ministers/Premiers and not the Governors? Isent the Governor of a British Overseas Territory the monarch's representative like a Governor General in a Commonwealth realm?

My god....who cares. Its over.

The President and First Lady have been invited by Queen Elizabeth to stay at Buckingham Palace (or Windsor Castle) in May 2011. The Queen will also host a state dinner in President Obama's honor....move on folks, keep it moving, nothing to see here.

btw Obama and his wife were touring the area the tornado hit the day of the wedding. If he had been invited he was better off being at the tornado site anyway.
I cannot find the short vid of Obama on the ground there when he spoke of seeing the aftermath close and up front. I believe he said it was the first time he's seen something like this first hand right after it happened. He came across well. Like him or not he's tons better at this aspect than his predecessor. He's not like the BP guy.

long video but a good one of him touring the area

Die-hard Obama haters won't watch this anyway. They will contend that he was photoshopped into the video and was never really there!
