Where politics may come in is when they look at how the bidding process for who got the job was done and what the criteria was for who was chosen.

Seriously. Are you going to expect the president to personally review every construction project in the US? That is bordering on insane.

When in doubt blame Obama. Conservatives are grasping at straws.

This is not the first construction issue in Miami. Another college had a parking garage collapse.

No, it seems someone knew something about the Clintons and they used the bridge to kill that person and make it look like an accident (joking)
