New York has been a tough town for President Barack Obama over the past few months.
First, elite New York golf courses reportedly rejected President Barack Obama’s request to tee off during Labor Day Weekend. Now, the President says a New York City restaurant rejected his credit card while he was in town for the United Nations General Assembly last month.
“It turned out I guess I don’t use it enough,” Obama recalled Friday after he signed an executive order to protect consumers from identity theft, according to a transcript of his remarks. “So they thought there was some fraud going on. Fortunately, Michelle had hers.”
“And I was trying to explain to the waitress, no, I really think that I’ve been paying my bills,” he joked. “Even I’m affected by this.”
Racial profiling! Let’s play the race card. [/libtard]
Cue the right-wing shit-storm.
I sympathize with him; I have had that happen to me a couple of times, and while I do appreciate the vigilance of my CC provider, and realize what they are doing is in my best interest, it’s a horrible feeling when it happens, and a terrible hassle when your card is invalidated because somebody tried to put a suspicious 66-cent charge through.
Kudos to our CC co…
Instances where a couple of unusual charges came up, we were contacted within minutes of the charges to see if they were expected.
The restaurant declined the card? I think you mean the bank.
