Obama “Not Invited” to Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding

Among the many lows that President Barack Obama has experienced in the past few months (prosecuting two wars, cleaning up a massive oil slick, a misstep over a race flap), none compares to being excluded from Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

While appearing on ABC's The View, Obama was asked whether he'd be attending this weekend's nuptials in Rhinebeck, N.Y.

"I was not invited," the president admitted.

But there were no hard feelings. Indeed, Obama said he supported the Clintons' decision to limit invitations to guests who had a relationship with Chelsea, leading many longtime supporters and political powerbrokers to feel left out.

"It would be tough enough to have one president at a wedding. You don't want two presidents," the president went on to say.

Obama faced mostly softball policy questions, reports ABC News. However, he showed some weakness when it came to pop culture.

"I've got to admit I don't know who Snooki is," Obama said, causing the studio audience to burst into applause. Snooki, of course, is the star of the MTV reality show hit Jersey Shore.

But to prove he wasn't completely out of the loop, he said, "I knew Lindsay was in jail," referring to the jailing of Lindsay Lohan for failing to comply with the terms of her DUI sentencing.

Asked about the recent scandal over a recording of Mel Gibson making abusive comments to a girlfriend, Obama replied, "I haven't seen a Mel Gibson movie in a while."

Obama said he did not use Twitter, but was a big fan of the iPod.

"I got Jay-Z on there, I've got Frank Sinatra on there. I've got Maria Callas on there," he said of the music on his MP3 player.

"I do not have Justin Bieber on there," he said to applause.
