that prank had to be illegal, and fake, you cant just get a REALLY expensive card with just saying your name and birthdate, you have to say your social and every single thing, and I doubt john hargrave knows obamas SS#, mothers maiden name etc
If you read the article, you'd know that he didn't get an ACCOUNT in Obama's name, he got a CARD.
And that anyone can do under any name, in his book, he did it like 4 times, He got a Card with the name "Fuk u NStar" TO pay his electric bill, he got a card under the name "Ashton Kutcher" to prank him(Well actually, he LEGALLY CHANGED his name to Ashton Kutcher)
My dad got a Credit Card to send to my Grandma back in Russia, it's in her name, and they didn't ask for anything.

The actual charge goes on John Hargrave's account either way.
