If the President PERSONALLY made a decision to ignore the subpoena, then you 've got the goods on him.
The reason I haven't "answered" Rickie's question is because I don't have all the facts. Or, more precisely, I don't have ENOUGH of the facts to the point that I'd feel comfortable making a leap.
So far, what I've seen is that the President's legal team seems to have dropped a ball - though I can't find any evidence of 'the other side' jumping all over it. It screams to me that there's more to this than meets the eye - but in which partisan direction, I have no idea.

Wow! Another opportunity to bash Bush for doing what Congress authorized him to do in the first place! That's another issue you've raised that I'm not going to get dragged into and besides, it's moot as to the subject at hand.
The key word here of this thread is "subpoena!" However you may have me here. I wasn't aware that Bush, LBJ and Regan were served subpoenas if in fact they were like Obama was! But then again that doesn't surprise me since most of that was before I became interested in politics through seeing first hand the shameless excessive dishonesty of left wing politicans (not that there aren't right wing dishonesty too, to a lesser degree at least) and through the dangers of the Progressive efforts of more than a century to undermine the American government and later the Democratic Party and US economy to cause the collapse of our government so they can then move in and form their vision of a socialistic government. I will digress from this because discussions of do no good and only serve to P*** me off!
BTW, it wasn't Rickie's question that you didn't answer, it was your own. I quote from your post
"So why wasn't President Obama held in contempt of court by the Atlanta judge for ignoring a legally issued subpoena?" The reason I asked you to answer it if Richie didn't was to point out to you that the question was retorical and couldn't be answered by you or Richie. Neither of you are a prosecuting investigator nor a member of congress. By providing the excuse you did for not answering it confirmed that you didn't get why I asked, or you knew it was retorical before you asked it in the first place!
Despite all ths I do hope you have an enjoyable day today and ever day except for next November 6th and 7th of course!
