President Barack Obama has declared Washington, D.C. a major disaster zone, but its not because of the red ink flooding from his pen. Its not due to the presidents collapsing approval ratings. And it has nothing to do with the mud-slides and verbal infernos that he has loosed on his political rivals.
Obama declared D.C. a disaster zone Tuesday because of the August 23 earthquake that damaged some pinnacles and a gargoyle on an Episcopal cathedral, frightened some zoo animals, dropped some bricks into an alleyway alongside Ecuadors embassy, and cracked the stones near the top of the Washington Monument.

Washington, DC was a disaster zone long before the earthquake.
FUBO!!!
more payoffs

Doncha know that DC is the center of the universe?
No disaster aid for Republican areas. That’s been Obama’s fundamental rule all along. Close the Republican car dealerships. Refuse aid for the Texas brushfires even while sending money to Mexico. And so forth.
Seems like every day brings a new reason to despise the anti-American sitting in the Oval Office ruining the once-great nation I love. I cannot wait for his departure.
The current President of the United States is not only a Leftist ideologue, a bungler, and a crook, he’s also a constant source of national embarrassment.
