The motorcade encountered crowds of people gathered outside the White House as it made its way off campus and headed toward Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. After arriving, President-elect Obama went into a previously unannounced "private" meeting at the airport's Fire Station 301. We're not being told who it's with but it will last about an hour. Podesta was not in the meeting, or at least did not stay around in the meeting, because he was spotted walking the other direction down the tarmac a few minutes after we arrived.
