This thing is shaping up to be a first class political disaster for the Obama administration. Amazingly, they seem to be tone deaf to what is happening so far.

NO one is THIS tone deaf. They are doing this for some reason. Obama is aware of the backlash, that's why he and Napolitano have given press comments about it. Only reasons I can think of him doing this on purpose are:

• Hoping for violence so he can initiate martial law.
• Conditioning people to be treated like cattle -- breaking their spirit, if you will.
• Distraction for something much more important.
• Payback to America for shutting him down.
