I find it hard to believe that Obama himself would have know about this - President of the United States tend to be busy men.

But as one other pointed out - that's what legal teams are for - to do all the low-level stuff that comes with the territory of being President.

To use a thin analogy - I can serve my deadbeat tenants by placing the notices on the door - but they can still claim they never saw it. That's why one tends to use the local County Sheriff's office to do that sort of thing - to show proof of the attempt at least.

So who knew about he subpoena and (evidently) ignored it? Who served it and how? That might explain a lot and put egg on SOMEONE's face (probably the President's legal team or other advisors)

The hearing went on without President Obama. No problem. What will the judge decide? Makes no difference as the Georgia Secretary of State (Kemp) will make the final decision.

At any rate, the final decision is Kemp's. Regardless of what Malihi recommends, Kemp does not want to become the Republican secretary of state who ruled Barack Obama off the ballot in Georgia. Becoming a birther hero would not begin to compensate for the lasting infamy such a step would bring him, especially because such a ruling would be challenged in state or federal court and almost immediately overturned on any number of reasons. Kemp would then look like a fool and put an end to any further political ambitions he might have. I doubt that’s the course he will choose to take.

President Obama has better things to do than deal with Oily Taitz and her ilk.
