President Obama Won't Attend Chelsea Clinton's Wedding

Well, now we know who won't be attending Chelsea Clinton's wedding on Saturday – wherever it takes place.

That would be President Obama. Asked at the end of Monday's White House press briefing if the president would be at the nuptials for Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, Robert Gibbs answered "no." Previously, Gibbs had said he didn't know if the president would attend.

So, that much is clear, even if little else is. The wedding of the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mezvinsky, himself the offspring of former politicians, will reportedly take place at the estate of John Jacob Astor, Astor Courts, in Rhinebeck, N.Y. But confirmation of that, along with many other details, has been hard to come by. The guest list is expected to number between 400 and 500 people, and the tab for the "wedding of the decade" could top $2 million.
