Michelle Obama still hopes for an invitation to William and Kate’s wedding.

Oh good grief. Hasn’t this woman a clue? Isn’t there anyone working in the white house that knows anything about protocol ?

America’s first lady is embarrassing quite frankly.

I don’t care about royal weddings to be honest. I don’t even follow who becomes Miss America since Bert Parks died. But ... an awful lot of other folks do and it’s becoming a big deal here. Well you’d imagine that of course. Of course also ... the wedding doesn’t take place till the end of April, I think, but the news coverage on it is everywhere already and it’s every day. I’m glad we don’t have a TV.

What Mrs O. has done is pretty much ask for an invitation. Exasperate courtiers?  I’d say they’re driven to the edge. Lets not forget the Obamas will be making an official state visit to these shores anyway, a month after the royal wedding. You probably can figure out what a logistical nightmare that’s gonna be. Oh the Brits will handle it all okay. But much of London will be off limits no doubt and the usual airports will more then likely be closed. There will be HUGE inconveniences to the locals. It’s my understanding that he can’t fly into one of the military bases and so will have to use civilian airport. Can you imagine what that will entail?  OK, he’s a head of state. I understand. But if Mrs. Obama’s “hope” were realized, it would create a double nightmare withing a very short span of time. 
Talk about party crashing. Jeesh.

Lets hope someone can disabuse her of the ridiculous “hope” to attend that to which she has not been invited.

Michelle Obama is likely to exasperate courtiers with her comments about the royal wedding after they went to such lengths to accommodate the White House

by Tim Walker

Even after it was clear that Prince William and Kate Middleton would not be sending a wedding invitation to the White House, Michelle Obama still appears not to have given up hope.
“If I get invited, I’ll go,” the First Lady said on the Live With Regis and Kelly Show on American television. She conceded, however, that, as things stand, she had not been invited.

Her comments are likely to exasperate senior courtiers, who – as I reported on Nov 14 last year – had to put off naming the wedding date until a week after announcing the engagement because White House officials were not at first certain when Barack Obama and his wife would make their first state visit to Britain.

Obama’s men, adamant that the two events should not clash, subsequently agreed May 24 to 26, almost a month after the royal wedding, as the dates for his visit.

Although the wedding will clearly be exclusive – I disclosed on Saturday that Sarah, Duchess of York, is not invited – the President may feel he had a lucky escape. One confirmed guest at the wedding will be Hamad bin Isa Khalifa, the King of Bahrain. Last week, to the dismay of the White House, his kingdom’s security forces opened fire on protesters demanding reforms.

STAY HOME MICHELLEand forget about the wedding

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
