Obama not on Chelsea Clinton's wedding guest list

[July 30, 2010]  WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he didn't make the guest list for Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

In an interview on ABC's daytime talk show "The View," Obama said he wasn't invited because former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wanted the event to be about their daughter and her future husband.

Obama says that's probably for the best, joking that it will be tough enough to have one president at the wedding.

Clinton will wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday evening in Rhinebeck, N.Y. That's about 90 miles north of New York City.
