A defector from the Democratic Party, a defector to where, is another story.
George W. Bush does his civic duty
This is awesome.
The Video:
Being summoned for jury duty at the George L Allen Sr Courts Building in downtown Dallas was anything but dull for Sheri Coleman.In fact, Coleman and other jurors were in for quite the surprise Wednesday morning when former President George W. Bush also showed up for jury duty at Judge Eric Moye’s court on the 14th civil district.“They made it seem like it was an anonymous juror that never showed up and then they brought him in,” she said.Coleman, of Dallas, said Bush spent time talking to the other jurors and took photos and spoke with everyone. She said the president’s visit was “awesome” and “surprising.”“He was very personable, very friendly, just ‘hey I’m here to serve,’ he asked questions and was very nice,” she said. “I loved it.”Bush’s spokesman Freddy Ford confirmed the president was summoned for jury duty and said Bush was at the courthouse in the 600 block of Commerce Street from about 8:50 a.m. until just before noon.
I have honestly wonder, would President Barack Obama serve jury duty? I highly doubt it.
I was his greatest critic back in 2006. I still disagree with some of his stances, especially on foreign policy. However, it is refreshing to see a President act like a human being and not some high and mighty ruler.
