Obama recalls being broke 7 years ago

Reuters reports:

Sen. Barack Obama is running for the White House, but it was not so long ago that he was so broke his debit card was declined.

At an unscheduled campaign stop at Vessels & Jewels store in New London, Obama bought a necklace for each of his two young daughters and a key chain, spending $37 on his debit card.

No word yet from Obama's good friend Tony Rezko on this one.
