WASHINGTON — A minor earthquake in the nation's capital didn't shake the president.
After talking to reporters on the Gulf oil spill, President Barack Obama was asked whether he felt the 3.6-magnitude quake that hit near Washington early Friday morning.
A smiling Obama said he didn't feel it.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, it was the strongest quake to hit within 30 miles of D.C. since the agency began keeping records in 1974. No injuries were reported. Many in the area slept through it while others were jolted awake.
On the federal agency's website, by midmorning more than 11,000 people had reported feeling the quake, some from as far away as Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
But at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, at least one person wasn't rattled.
