Unintended Consequences Do the Presidents people even think about this?

When a policy made or changed or a speech is given many times there are unintended consequences. For example when the President and members of Congress criticized business executives for flying on Corporate Jets during difficult economic times, they never thought that it would lead to canceling of orders for Corporate jest which resulted in the layoff of tens of thousands of workers in the air plane business and the people who worked in those communities. Later when the President was bashing business he said that companies should not hold conventions in cities like Las Vegas or Orlando, instead hold them in Detroit or Milwaukee where unemployment is high. Las Vegas lost over 400 conventions and forced major layoff of hotel, casino and restaurants workers.
Now he is trying illegal enemy combatants in Civilian Courts and sentencing them to US prisons. Many of the home grown terrorists were converted or recurited in the US Prisons. Are we going to be the new recruiter for terrorists?

Muslims have been recruiting in prisons for a very long time.
The main point is that enemy combatants have no place in our civilian courts, nor any of the rights of citizens.
They are not even covered under the Geneva Convention.
All a criminal trial will accomplish is giving these terrorists a chance to spout their propaganda, and a new target for other terrorists who seek to disrupt the trials.
This is just more evidence that Comrade 0bama does not have our best interests at heart... that he is instead working an agenda of his own.
