Duty Calls Former President Obama

Duty calls, Mr. President. Jury duty that is. Former President Barack Obama has been called for jury duty in Chicago and plans to serve next month. In addition to his Kalorama home in DC, Obama also owns a home in the Kenwood area of Chicago. “Obviously we will make certain that he has all the accouterments that accompany a former president. His safety will be uppermost in our minds,” Chief Judge Tim Evans said. So apparently the Chicago jury pool is lit. Other famous jurors who have served include Oprah and Mr. T. This is the second time Obama has been summoned; the first time was in 2009 but he was recused for being a sitting president. More here.
