BREAKING NEWS TORNADO HIT DC AND WHITE HOUSE DESTORY

[nmbluesky]

WASHINGTON—Barack Obama stands alone in the ruins of what was once his living room, calling out in vain for a dog that never comes. Less than 36 hours ago, his house stood proudly intact. But the violent tornado that tore through the region upended everything in an instant, scattering his belongings and leaving his family homeless and helpless.

"My God, just look at this," the 48-year-old government employee said as he surveyed the splintered furniture and mangled chandeliers that littered the 18-acre property. "Everything is gone. Our clothes, our family photos, the federal budget for fiscal year 2011—it's all gone."

Added Obama, "This was our dream home."

With no relatives in the area to turn to, the Obamas have been living in the basement of Calvary Methodist Church on M Street and bathing at the nearby YMCA. However, with the church running low on canned goods and funds to support the displaced family, Obama worries he and his loved ones may soon be forced to move into a shelter or live out of their motorcade.

"My youngest daughter keeps asking me when we can go home," said part-time social worker Michelle Obama, 46, who escaped the disaster with nothing more than her enduring spirit and the Narciso Rodriguez cap-sleeve silk dress on her back. "I don't know what to tell her."

1. What is the point of posting this over and over.

Jeez.

2. Not everyone hangs out on DU all day and can see all of the posts.

If you don't want to read it, then just move along.

4. Isn't that what a KICK is for? I mean seriously. You get a point each time you post

not double points for starting the thread. :shrug:

[Cant trust em]

5. That's if you read a post and wanted it to come back to the top.

I bet that more often people read something independent from each other and happened to both post it.
