Last week, President Barack Obama failed to appear at a Georgia hearing to determine whether he is in fact eligible to appear on the ballot for the upcoming presidential election, due to concerns about his citizenship status. District Chief Judge Michael Malihi had issued a formal subpoena for the president, and later denied a motion to excuse him from appearing. It seems that one person, at least, was taking the case seriously.
In his absence, President Obama might have at least sent a lawyer to represent his interests, but the administration’s opinion of the hearing was evidently so low as not to warrant even such a minor response. Instead, attendees were left staring at an empty chair while two attorneys took turns arguing about the president’s eligibility to serve.
