Obama’s credit card declined

Obama’s credit card declined at trendy NYC restaurant

WSHINGTON — It was a date the president will never forget — because he had to hit up First Lady Michelle Obama to pay the tab.
A September date night in New York nearly ended on a sour note when the president’s credit card got rejected at trendy Estela on East Houston Street.
Obama was trying to get some respite from the madness of the UN General Assembly, but suffered a common embarrassment when he tried to settle up and plunk down his credit card — only to have it rejected.
“It turned out I guess I don’t use it enough, so they thought there was some fraud going on,” Obama revealed at the new Consumer Financial Protection Board in DC.
The first lady, who used to earn more than Obama when she was a high-priced hospital exec but doesn’t currently draw a salary, came to the rescue.
