With all some of Americans wooed by the Royal Wedding coming up, there has been lots of speculation as to who would be on the invitee list. Considering the balance of things going on, I'm glad I got passed over myself.
However, some have 'whined' that the Obamas got the royal 'snub' (See here for example.
So, play out the idea that they did get invited and went. Who wants to take a wild guess as to how quickly the press/Republicans would be all over the suggestion that taxpayers were having to pay for the Obamas to go there or that they even had the nerve to leave the country and not be here creating jobs!
I just can't understand the media sometimes with their addiction to making stories out of thin air.
