Obama reports for $17.20-a-day jury duty

in #politics7 years ago

FORMER president Barack Obama arrived for jury duty in Chicago yesterday — prepared to do his civic duty for $17.20 a day.

The 44th president, who arrived with a Secret Service cavalcade, is not the first former US leader asked to be on a jury. In 2015, former president George W. Bush answered the call in Dallas. He was not selected to sit on a jury.

And in 2003, Bill Clinton reported for duty in New York City. He was also not picked.

Mr Obama, who also was dismissed from serving, is not the first famous juror in Chicago either, following TV’s Oprah Winfrey and Lawrence Tureaud, better known as Mr T.
