Susan Turns Down Date with Barack Obama

Perhaps an opportunity to get her first kiss, Susan Boyle turned down an invitation from Barack Obama to attend this weekends White House Correspondents Dinner. This was a star studded event with everyone from Amanda Sykes to Ashton Kutcher and his, lovely but old, wife, Demi Moore. It seems only fitting that a global phenomenon like Susan Boyle who has the most viewed videos ever on Youtube would attend such an event. Alas, Susan Boyle turned down President Obama because her nerves got the best of her. Concerned about being in the presence of such a powerful man and worse performing a song for him, scared poor Susan so much that she decided to stay home instead of take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity at the White House. I guess Oprah is not as frightening as Barack Obama is to Susan Boyle. Susan is scheduled to appear on the Oprah Winfrey show on Monday May 11th, 2009.
