Comment(s):

Uncle Sam is able to run on water (but not at super-speed!)
A horrific bi-coastal invasion like this would definitely move the US into war with the Axis Powers, but that is still approximately six months away with a second attack on Pearl Harbor. This story possibly takes place on Earth-X, but this is still unconfirmed.
