London, Dec 22 (ANI): Barack Obama, who was spotted heading on an impromptu Christmas shopping trip with first dog Bo on Wednesday, pretended to be petrified that his credit card won't work.
The 44th President of the US made the most of his free time as Congress remained in stalemate over payroll tax cuts for next year.
The alone time gave the 50-year-old the chance to pick up some cost-saving items in front of the cameras at PetSmart and Best Buy in Alexandria, Virginia, before indulging in pizza for lunch.
At the pet store, he bought Bo a 24.99 dollars toy bone and a bag of treats, as the dog played with a poodle puppy named Cinnamon.
As the two dogs sniffed around each other, Obama told the family pet not to "get too personal".
The President then headed to Best Buy to shop for his daughters, Malia, 13, and ten-year-old Sasha. There he purchased two 50 dollars iTunes gift cards and two games - the Sims 3: Pets and Just Dance 3 for the Wii.
"If you're wondering - Just Dance for the Wii. The girls beat me every time on these various dance games. So you'll never get a picture of me doing it because I get graded F every time," the Daily mail quoted him as saying.
He spent around 190 dollars and put it on a credit card, and joked with them about it not going through.
"It'll be really embarrassing if it doesn't go through," he said.
Obama then went to Del Ray Pizzeria and picked up three pies to go, stopping on the way back to the White House to wish onlookers happy holidays and pose for photographs with children.
The Obamas will be reunited when the President joins his wife and daughters on Hawaii where he was born for their Christmas vacation. (ANI)
