Is THIS the reason Benghazi Barry made a "surprise visit" to FEMA Area 3 the other day?

[kabar]

Close 495? That would be insane. It would really bring the DC metro area to a halt along with I-95 traffic along the entire East coast.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The TRASH holding office in the White House are frightened. Good for the truckers.

[PuzzledInTX]

Another Spite House reaction! So in order to keep the truckers from shutting down two lanes of the Beltway, Zero is gonna shut down all of it. LOL! What a moron. He keeps showing his true colors. I’m sure our truckers will be innovative in how they make their point within DC.

[Errant]

The organizers of this rally are asking for our support of the truckers by making NO purchases during the following days on the 11th, 12th, or 13th.

They can count me in!

[opres]

IMPEACH THIS ILLEGAL PRESIDENT!

[mason-dixon]

Geez Louise.... Not a single trucker will need to show up tomorrow (Friday) to shut down the beltway. The weather man will do it... rain has been forcast for tomorrow!

Can’t wait for the “progressive” Governor of Maryland (the Not-Free-Anymore State) to make a fool of himself by calling out the National Guard!

[rhinohunter]

Uhhh.... wouldn’t that actually be like ... uh... even better than what the truckers were planning?
Am I missing something?

[magellan]

I would love Obama to shut down I-495 and then none of the truckers show up. Obama would look like a cad.

[PapaBear3625]

I doubt this story.

1) Closing I-495 to truck traffic for three days, or even one morning, would have major negative effects.

2) Even if they did close I-495 to truck traffic, there are LOTS of roads into DC from the Maryland side.

[xrmusn]

These idiots have went from dumb SOB’s to complete Morons, and I apologize to any Moron for putting these SLUGS in the same category.

If ‘they’ shut down the beltway to prevent it from being shutdown, it just means that JOSEPH HELLER just ‘rose from his permanent resting place’ and said...

“SEE! I TOLD YOU SO”...

All those years ‘they’ scoffed and berated Heller, Ayn Rand, George Orwell, Chester Gould, Jules Verne and their ilk as being ‘loony’ and having a vivid imagination, EVERYDAY the idiots just prove these writers etal just had the future in view.

Like ‘POGO’ opined....

WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US.

[Responsibility2nd]

This is BS, and not even very good satire.

What is is actually - is a good teaser to promote some conference some group is having next week or so.

Kinda bizarre way to shill for some upcoming meeting - but that’s all there is to this “Beltway Shutdown” story.

[Paine in the Neck]

Truckers, contravelletion is your word of the day. If they want to wall you out shut them off from the outside world. Your targets should be the inbound sides of:

66
95
270
Dulles Access Rd
295
50
5

Where they intersect 495.

[GoldwaterChick]

Does this latest move by the Czar in the White House surprise anybody????

[publius911]

Sources within the Department of Transportation have revealed that their plan to use National Guard resources to close federally funded Interstate Route 495, circling the nation’s capital, have been approved by unknown White House officials and will be implemented on Friday morning, October 11, in order to thwart the three day Trucker slowdown announced on the Capitol Beltway starting that date, using the federal government shutdown as justification.

LOL!
This has to be a joke; Hussein isn't really insane.
I usually dismiss unconfirmed reports like this as political hyperbole, no matter who "reports" it.

It's nonsensical. Shutting down DC to most traffic accomplishes the same thing. Nobody's that clueless.

In the meantime, in sympathy with the truckers, we have Americans "Not Buying Anything for three days..." It's amusing to consider how he would try to stop that.

Whoever is circulating this stuff must be on some seriously potent drugs. Really

That restrained computer guy in the White House basement again?

[madison10]

Barrybutt wants to stop the truckers?

[grania]

What? Closing the moat circling DC would be silly. All the King’s Men would be stuck in their castle.

[Paine in the Neck]

Glenn Ryt, in the comments to his article:

" Despite the headline and subheadline both having a tell tale QUESTION MARK, I must say when I wrote this, I had to wonder, will it be taken as literal truth or as the satire it was intended to be?"

[spokeshave]

History Repeating....Remember the Kent State shooting....

Obama got his Agent Provocateur all ready to go

[Hoodat]

Please, oh please make this happen. Give every Beltway Democrat a taste of what the rest of the country faces every day under Obama.

[Wordkraft]

Does this mean that the White House realizes that they are under siege?
