someone have to said to Obama that if he had used bitcoin, he hadn't have this problem !  Anyway, is ridicolous that someone denied a payment to the powerful man of world and president of US !
Bankers are more powerful than our president.

just recently my credit card was locked because my bank decided that my recent transactions to circle.com were suspicious. i had to call them in order to get it unlocked. no notification was sent to me and i only discovered this after trying to make a purchase at a store. very embarassing and frustrating that i have to deal with this despite already paying them all those "banking service" fees!!!

Bankers are not only evil, they sometimes keep your money safe, better than bitcoin.
Its truth :/, sadly...
Nothing to do with keeping it safe, rather they are trying to limit their own costs/liabilities in respect of the massive amount of cc fraud that occurs daily that would be virtually impossible with Bitcoin.

Besides, they don't keep your money safe. They promptly lend it out and/or gamble with it. Smiley

but bitcoin offers credit to bicoiners who can't spend from nothing. The beaty of using bitcoin is that it is under the control of your hands without being arbitrarily charged.

Obviously mr. president have no problem creating more debts.

Obama is using credit card, really? Our politicians never pay for anything. They even get paid for eating there. Smiley
It is very rare that any politician will every pay for a meal as they often will eat at fundraisers when people that attend the fundraiser will pay thousands of dollars to eat with the politician. Obama has shown to be one of the more corrupt politicians (plus him being from the most corrupt city - Chicago) would lead me to believe that he participates in this kind of fundraising more often then most other politicians.

He either made up the story or for some unknown reason decided it was time to pay for something himself

And now the question remains, how does one not see the benefits of using Bitcoin?
I always get a bit worried when I'm far away with no cash and trying to pay for a load of stuff using CC..

I was under the assumption the President got everything for free lol I never pictured the President having to buy anything, much less his credit not being good...

"“Apparently they thought there was some fraud going on,” Mr. Obama joked at a meeting Friday..."
^^^ Now he's getting closer to the truth


Obama's credit card declined, Bernake failing to refi his mortgage, what next? Cheesy

Did the restaurant hold his ID and make him come back later to pay?  Cheesy

It seems bankers are republicans and don't like Obama Smiley
Any way, this is good example why is better to have decentralized money, and avoid ''middle man'', banks.

The problem is that it will be forgotten as a funny anecdote (at least for people who are not supporting Bitcoin right now).

Here's an example of why people need decentralized currency.
When you trust bankers with your money, they can steal it, and shut off your card at any time.
This is how they've been controlling people for decades.
