Could be a position to fire on flights from Reagan National or on Obama’s helicopter.

Yes it would. A bridge would be the only target, unless the boat was carrying terrorists that intended to disburse. If that is the case, they probably already have buddies in place all around the city.

Why are all the boats booking it away from the boat in question?

Megyn on Fox said the POTUS used that bridge near the scene earlier today.

No, think platform to hit jets taking off from Reagan National or to attack Obama as he crossed the bridge.

Apparently not...yet...standby...I bet the word will get out,and somebody of authority will get their heads out out their posteriors and take care of Captain Obvious...

At least till they can get a handle on what caused the problem...

Traffic stinks anyway in D.C., so this will not be that big a difference...

Nah, he'd have other series things to do first, like kick some butt in our Capital for instance...

Megyn saying that Obama traveled on the nearby bridge earlier this morning—possible assassination attempt?

Hoping it won’t happen, but my tin foil hat is coming out that the person/people on the boat will have some sort of
‘extremist right winger’ connections!!!

Something “O” staged for sympathy and support? We’ll see.
