While dining at an upscale restaurant in New York last month, President Barack Obama said he had his credit card declined. “It turned out I guess I don’t use it enough,” Obama said while speaking to workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “They thought there was some fraud going on.” The president added, “I guess I don’t use it enough, so they thought there was some fraud going on. Luckily, Michelle had hers.” The comments were made as the president announced new protections for debit cards used to deliver federal benefits, according to the BBC. Obama and the first lady, who were in town for the annual United Nations General Assembly session, were dining at Estela in downtown New York City.

Did he call the Red Chinese and get it all cleared up?
Naw. He just promised them hope and some change.
As somebody else here has said, it was 18 trillion over the limit.

First time he ever tried to pay for anything himself, he lives in a mansion, flies in AF1, rides in free limo, eats free food, has free medical and free utilities....
So actually using his credit card ONE time was out of his usual pattern LOL
oh bee ess
How does he pay for all the Golf ? Is it Free and does he Claim it ?
Apparently the problem was that he mixed up his credit card with the race card.
Or maybe the algorithms that search for inconsistencies found something they shouldn’t have (didn’t get the memo or, err...’the hard drive crashed’/’email was lost’/’bits & bytes weren’t tight’)
/s
Maybe it’s still Maxed out , remember the car he tried to rent 8 years ago
Remember those “Do You Know Me” advertisements?
This story is bs.
I doubt his credit card was declined.
I am sure someone else pays for him when he goes out. He is the President.
Was it from the First Bank of Kenya?
He should get used to this. He had his "Man-Card" revoked the day the photo of him on that bicycle appeared.
Heavens to Mergatroid!
This story seems like everything else that passes through his F’n lips....BS BS BS BS ....
Some person supposedly doesn’t tip in a nondescript diner in FL and supposedly writes a ‘Lesbian Slur(??)’ and it is National News.
Are we supposed to be naive enough to believe this story?
Like they say, the only way you can guarantee 3 people keep a secret is to kill two of them.
This story has the same BS Meter response as the ‘picture’ of Wee Willie and the Hildabeest ‘dancing in the moonlight’ in bathing suits.
It went so ignored that the WH had to orchestrate a Major ‘Complaint’ that someone published the ‘private photo’.
Naturally ‘they’ started wonder WTF was going on and this ‘photo’ surfaces AFTER THE FACT.
I guess these clowns really think we are this gullible especially since BOTH of them got reelected.
I call Barbara Streisand on this one!
My exact thought.
He thought the Race Card was the same thing as the American Express Black card.
At least that's what Jesse told him.
