AP President Barack Obama recently had the embarrassing experience of having his credit card declined when he went out to eat.

Obama mentioned his credit-card issue on Friday when he spoke while signing an executive order aimed at protecting people from credit-card fraud.

He said his card was rejected when he was having a dinner date with his wife, Michelle Obama, in Manhattan during the UN General Assembly.

" It turned out, I guess, I don't use it enough, to so they thought there was some fraud going on," said Obama. "Fortunately, Michelle had hers."

Obama and the first lady dined at New York City restaurant Estela on Sept. 24 while he attended the annual UN meeting.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment about whether this was the meal where his card was rejected.
