The credit card and banks whose lending standards like the above deserve to go out of business. Instead, obama gives them more taxpayer money...

His wife is in Pakistan. According to the LA Times and New York Times and Denver Post:

He travels to Pakistan once a year to see his wife, whom he wed in 2006 and has sought unsuccessfully to bring to the U.S., Folsom said.
