US President Barack Obama has declared a slow-moving lava flow from the Pu'u O'o vent of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii to be a major disaster, the White House said.

No homes have been destroyed and no injuries have been reported.

Those water hoses may need to be sent to Ferguson.

I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to turn on the federal spigots and stop the lava flow.

Lava? Who the hell cares about lava! My area is being crushed by a flow of illegals, and they are far more destructive than lava.

Obama announced that he is sending John Kerry to negotiate with the lava, and will be naming a "Lava Czar" within the next few days.

This past summer wildfires ravaged parts of eastern Washington state. Those affected communities applied for Federal aid and were denied.

And here we have some lava flowing through a few people’s yards and the money train starts moving.

If I move to the slope of an active volcano, and then want my fellow citizens to pay for any losses I incur because of the volcano what am I?

.

A Democrat of course.

:: Obama has declared a slow-moving lava flow from the Pu’u O’o vent of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii to be a major disaster ::

Slow-moving disaster. Yet wildfires and tornadoes are denied.

From my limited recollection of Pu’u/O’o lava, you should have enough time to completely dismantle your home and rebuild it elsewhere...that is if the flow doesn’t simply stop at any given time.

Well, Hawai’i has had any FEMA cash in a while so...what the hey, let’s use the Obama Stash (AKA: Fed Treasury) to get few votes.

Those same barricades that kept the Vets out of the memorials. They are practically impenetrable, they said.
