Leona Lewis Turns Down President Obama

Leona Lewis Turns Down President Obama

Leona Lewis smiles for the cameras as she makes her way to her terminal at the LAX airport on Monday (June 1).

The 24-year-old singer has reportedly turned down an invitation by President Barack Obama to the White House. “Leona was thrilled to be invited to dinner by Obama. She really wanted to meet him and his wife Michelle - who is a big fan and has her Spirit album. They both think she is a strong, inspirational and talented young woman who is a fantastic role model for children,” a source told The Mirror.

“They would love her to get involved in some of their charity projects. But it was really unfortunate that it clashed with her tight schedule to get her second album done,” the source said. “Leona would have felt it a real honor to sing for him too. So if Barack ever asks again, she’ll jump at the chance.”

# 50….are you daft? Your republican monkey did all of that before Obama came in. He was left this crazy mess…..don’t you even realize it? Take your blinders and ear plugs off!

Redneck is one word. “Go back and get a real education:

She is an idiot and hope he never asks her again. I surely will never be a fan of her and I hope the other of millions President Obama’s supporters don’t buy her music. It take more than a voice to be cordial and respectful. She’s trash!!

Kimberly you are such an ignorant, disrespectful, low life. If you were educated you could have came up with a more creative name to call him it was probably the only thing you could spell but anyways that monkey runs this country

John Zion @ 06/02/2009 at 8:05 pm

A big dumb head to go with that BIG Dumb Nose

Kimberly,
You are such an ignorant, disrespectful, low life. If you were educated you would have been able to come up with something more creative to call the president instead of a monkey but that was probably the only word you could spell. Anyways that monkey you refer to Runs the Country!!

Leona is simply busy, like the First Family is……. I just bet the Obamas and LL can help lead the world in better understanding of other cultures and races….. time will tell……

well well well. now I like Leona even more. Obama can think about anything else besides act like a celebrity and be around them because I think HE has so much better thing to do besides this. I wonder why Americans do not regret choosing him as President. I mean what has he done to you guys? Being topless in the beach or being the cover of US Magazine? =__=;;
no offense.

@[~☆Fug Face Man!ston☆~]: ok, fist of all #13 aka HA!….politely decline an invitation from the President of the United Sates? Are you f***ing kidding me? She should consider herself very lucky and no matter what was on her little agenda, she should have accepted.

“She is an idiot and hope he never asks her again. I surely will never be a fan of her and I hope the other of millions President Obama’s supporters don’t buy her music. It take more than a voice to be cordial and respectful. She’s trash!!”

Are you kidding me? This whole conversation is dumb. So what, she declined the Presidents invite, and quite politely I must say. It blows my mind that so many people worship this man so much as to say that when heaven forbid someone says no to him we should revolt against them and bring about their distruction. Pathetic! People with that mentality should not have been allowed to vote. Im not saying he won’t be a good president, I’m willing to give him a chance, but knowing that he was voted in by people who elevated him to a status greater than God, Im gonna be honest, it freaks me out. You wanted a president that was more like the everyday American, and not every American always gets what they want.

@Erica: Oh good grief, simply because she turned down Obama!! Get real. He is just a guy, no more important or better than the next. She simply had more important items on her agenda. So she turned him down get over it. She is an awesome singer. I will be first in line to buy her album, and because she had the balls to turn down Obama I respect her even more. Way to go Leona!!!!!!!

THE real truth @ 06/02/2009 at 9:35 pm

Does anyone actually read these comments? No wonder the Govt thinks it can do whatever it wants to whenever it wants too. All the govt has to do is look at these comments and realize that our country is so divided among ourselves and that is the way they want it. As long as we are so concerned about who is a Democrat or who is a Republican the govt knows we have taken our eye of the ball and given them free reign. Who cares what party they belong too! We need to be holding the Govt accountable and NEITHER PARTY is doing IT! So instead of placing blame why not come up with resolutions. As for Leona I like her and so what if she declined an invitation. It’s her life none of us know why she declined and really isn’t our business.

boo — Leona is a reality TV show winner?? Where did THAT come from? She IS a singer! One of my current faves at that! However, that was clearly a bad move. President Obama made time in his very tight schedule to meet with her, yet she did not have the time to meet with him?? Umm..dumb move! I find it disrespectful of her.

If I were her, I could have declined his offer too. I don’t agree with obama on any of his views; religion, gay rights, ect. And I wouldn’t make exceptions just because he’s the president

what a stupid woman!

Fortunately she is a Brit. and probably would rather meet the Queen, or any queen. No American striving for fame turns down POTUS and FLOTUS.

Well good for her… she does have a life too.

TOGETHER WE'RE STRONGER @ 06/02/2009 at 10:31 pm

Why can’t we all get along. It’s very sad how we talk about so and so disrespected so and so. Yet on this site most of the coments make no sense, we disrespect each other openly like it’s nothin yet complain about the first lady and the Queen incident( which was completely unintentional, if any at all). We do not even have to like each other but we can still show some respect. We are all humans, like it or not. White or black we all will die some day. Democrats or republicans, when this country does well it’s good for us all; when it goes down we all feel it one way or the other. President Bush had his time, now it’s president Obama’s time to help this contry move forward, if he fails we all fail because we’re all in this together. I was against the war in Iraq, but the president at the time did what he thaught was necessary to keep this country safe. Now the current president is doing what he thinks is needed for this country to move forward with the stimulus package. Let’s see what happens within the next four years. Beleive it or not if this does not work even the most die hard democrat will think twice before the next election. I think Leona passed on a great oportunity to promote her next album, but i m not going to judge her, that’s her choice. She does what she thinks is best for her, no need to disrespect her or call her name, it’s uncalled for. Yet gain you can only give what you have, try to be more discreet please with your comments.
*****May God Bless America and The rest of the World*****

Hey everyone! Regrettably, I wrote my previous comments without the help of my daily medications. I suffer from a series of mental illnesses. Please, do not blame me - Rhonda. Blame “Lauren” instead. I deeply regret the things I said. I’m actually a Democrat while Lauren is the Republican (as if that even matters). Anyway, SORRY..a huge sorry to all.

Where the hell do you people get off calling him “Barack”??? He’s President Obama, regardless your feelings about him are.

“just because he’s the president” what? he’s not special enough to you? “I’ll be buying her album” Have some respect people!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY I DON’T VOTE! MORONS!

I dont care about white house issue, I just want leana to be my wife. She is damn sexy..

Maybe Leona doesn’t like Obama.

so what she declined the President! He’s not God!

@Rhonda:

that explains it! hahaha
