shooting one's self in the foot

I just find it strange that the prez is always giving press conferences.

We finally get a really good tourism slogan. It's simple. Launched on the internet. Viral. We've got netizens' versions and websites popping up and some of them are actually brilliant.

Then we get an announcement, from the prez no less, that there is a "verified" terrorist threat.

No timeline.

Their defending the announcement as being a necessity to keep the public informed. Keep them alert and not complacent.

Please.

As J said  in Men In Black (or an approximation thereof): "An individual is smart. Rational. People...people are stupid and panicky."

I won't be surprised if countries started announcing travel bans to our county.

I mean c'mon, our prez said there's a terrorist threat.
