"Obama is falling into a trap that is probably of his own making."

=================================================================
"This is stunning--President Obama one-on-one with a Mexican journalist, and no handlers? President Obama considers a Mexican journalist more important to talk with about Gunwalker than the American people, the American
press/media, and the Congress?
If I'd not see this, I would not have believed it. This is proof of some combination of ineptitude (getting caught); not having a Plan B to handle something going awry (unskilled implementers); hubris (thinking that a bunch of pointy-headed intellectual knuckleheads could pull off a strategy so blatantly stupid); and what I'd call a Black Swan (from Nassim Taleb's book of that name, "the highly expected not happening", footnote on page xviii, meaning that President Obama and his retinue expected ATF Special Agents to carry the water, and they didn't. Instead, they disavowed the activity. Quite profound, in my view."
