IT'S THE PERFECT EXCUSE TO GET OUT OF DODGE:

Obama to skip jury duty in Chicago suburbs (AP, 1/24/10)

A White House official said Sunday that the president has alerted the court he won't be able to make it.

Obama was summoned for jury duty at the Bridgeview courthouse in suburban Chicago starting Monday.

A wasted opportunity for a White House that badly needs a way to hide the President for a few months. We're all tired of him.
