This shouldnb’t be the Coast Guard speaking. It should be the President....as Commander in Chief.

This Administration, the Liberals, just don’t get it!
These are the same A$$es that flew Air Force One over NYC a few months ago.

It’s UNBELIEVABLE !

Did Obama set up this scare up to keep tomorrow from being a Tea Party with a million protestors.............or was it indeed a potential terrorist responsible for the scenario?

It may be a while before it's ascertained which one of these two enemies of the Republic was responsible.

When Clinton was in office, his mo was to cover up, shift blame to his political enemies or play down muslim attacks on the US. Seeing as the Left is friends with America’s enemies, it is not their inclination to see Muslim attacks on the US.

I’m not so sure it was CNN who started it. Reuters reported it.

The media sleeps with the Dems....so something has gone awry....Was this supposed to be an assassination attempt story???

I noticed one of the first stories out was that Obama was using the bridge....

That’s the thing - we hardly EVER lose power. I heard sirens, but thought it was for an accident, etc. When the power comes back on, the initial reports were all over the place. The flights at National were stopped for a time - that’s verifiable. The reporters were getting conflicting stories, but now the reporters seem to be on the same page.

I find it hard to believe that the Coast Guard mishandled this “training exercise”. The Coast Guard has a good reputation for being professional and having their act together. Who in the world would decide to have a training exercise at that location, when the POTUS is crossing the bridge on 911? The “incident” happened when the POTUS was crossing the bridge. FOX saying that it was a lack of communication.

The story broke, according to statement from Coast Guard (on FOX) by people monitoring radio calls on the river.

So much for keeping Glen Beck’s big revelation about ACORN front and center in the news, huh?

Remember...Part of the terrorists MO is to get "security measures" out in the open...

Please be vigilant....

It's pretty sad when you don't trust your President to "protect us"....

I’m not sure what’s happening either, and I agree that it’s a very strange story. Reminds of 9/11/01, when the newsies were insisting that the passenger jet that flew into the WTC was an accident; even the second strike was an “accident” until they realized this story would simply not stand.

HAAAA....now fox is reporting a bomb threat at a school in detroit!!!!!!! The media is out of control.

The 24/7 news cycle has turned the news into the equivalent of those guys that listen to police radios.

Hey stupid media - how about waiting till you can report an actual event? Filters are not just for cigarettes.

Perhaps a quick check of the spelling of the word Potamic might indicate that his post was sarcasm?

It wasn't sarcasm. It was a play of the spelling. That's all.

That’s because you are not drinking the O koolaid. There are still many out there that have been ‘Hopemotized’ by Obama’s brand of marxism.

The guy is very heavily guarded. There are sharpshooters everywhere he goes. He's the safest guy on the planet. Whatever happened on the Potomac, you can be sure the WH knew about it.
