\"\"<\/a>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sorry I just do not understand the media\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s obsession with the upcoming wedding of Prince William. It is like the media is desirous of having a monarchy in the US. They act jealous that we do not have our own monarchy. They even created the fake monarchy of JFK and an American Camelot. One would think that the media wants the US to have its own monarchy (a liberal one of course) so they could make daily reports on what the royal family might be doing.<\/p>\n

There are stories on every little piece of minutia for the coming nuptials. The amount of time being spent reporting on the wedding is getting beyond dull. I for one think the coverage looks like an obsessed sycophant fawning at that which they can not own. From the amount of coverage one might think that the wedding was taking place in the US and President Obama was hosting at the White House,\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 what,\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 he was not invited, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 hmmm?<\/p>\n

We are indeed good friends with Britain. And I think it is wonderful that a young man and woman have fallen in love and are getting married. But we fought for our freedom from the monarchy and I see no need to now be a loving subject. Send the couple a nice card and get on with reality.<\/p>\n

There are many things going on in the world an even in the US that are of far more importance than this wedding. It is too bad the media does not spend a little time on real stories that matter to the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
