Vice President Biden Has Jury Duty

President Obama was called to duty last year, but did not participate.  Coincidently, Biden who said he didn't "consider myself different than any other person" , said he hopes the president will participate this year.

Biden and the other selected jurymen and women, actually ended up being dismissed.
