No one is saying the gap wasn't on a downward trend throughout the years, but they (including the Census) are saying it's the widest gap (historic) meaning it has become worse during Obama's rein.
What's stupid is you don't think Obama has anything to do with it.
As for DC is isn't hard to connect the dots. From a 2010 report:
"The richest five percent of DC households have an average income of $473,000, the highest among the 50 largest cities in the U.S., according to a new report from the DC Fiscal Policy Institute. Meanwhile, the poorest 20 percent of District households have incomes averaging under $10,000. Income inequality in DC — the gap between rich and poor — is third highest among the nation’s largest cities.
The average income among the top five percent of DC households, $473,000, is higher than in any major U.S. city. Among the 50 largest cities, the average top income is $292,000."

Can you guess who these top percenters are in DC.
Your ranting straw man arguments don't hold up.
