Obama Gets Called For Jury Duty

Yikes!

Imagine being arrested and charged with the thought crime of being a Republican.

And when you get to Court, this guy's in the jury box.

Former president Barack Obama will soon get a temporary government job that pays a lot less than what he earned in Washington.

Obama has been called to jury duty in Chicago — which pays $25 for the first day and $50 for each additional day of service.

Though Obama and wife Michelle own homes in both Washington and Chicago, the ex-president is registered to vote in the Windy City.

There’s no word on the exact date Obama will report.

Obama “made it crystal-clear to me through his representative that he would carry out his public duty as a citizen and resident of this community,” Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans told the Chicago Tribune.

The former leader of the free world will be placed in a pool for either criminal or civil cases. He may be asked to report to any of the county’s courthouses in Chicago or its suburbs.

He’s certainly qualified. Besides his experience as a former president, his resume includes a Harvard law degree and experience teaching law.

Obama will be the biggest name to serve as a Cook County juror since Oprah Winfrey and Mr. T.

Winfrey served on a panel that convicted a murderer in 2004. Mr. T — whose real name is Lawrence Tureaud — reported in 2014, but was not picked for a case.


Thank You Mr Hechtman and NYPost.
