Good morning, D.C. Quick fact check time: President Obama did dine at Ray’s Hell Burger yesterday. But he never went to Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda on Friday night, as Marc Fisher figures out in his self-appointed Myth Buster role in today’s Raw Fisher. We’ve of course been following the first family’s visits to local businesses and other D.C. organizations, intrigued by the idea of the Obamas as the biggest show in town right now. Rumors like these were bound to happen sooner or later, but for some reason it strikes us as especially funny that it happened first in Bethesda. Falling so easily for a hoax about the president: how gauche!

Reports Says CFSA is Still Inadequate: Plenty of stories on the newly issued report from D.C. Child and Family Services Agency monitor Judith Meltzer. Despite making major improvements since the Banita Jacks tragedy, it looks as though the agency has a long way to go in terms of getting kids out of foster care and into permanent living situations. From the Post: “Of the 2,237 children in foster care in the District, the report found that 60 percent had been in the city’s care for 24 months or more at the end of last year, and that almost 600 had been in the system for five years or more.”

O Street Market Gets $1 Million from Council: Crucial news for Shaw residents who have been waiting for the O Street Market development to get going for what seems like forever.

The project is dying on the vine.”
