I would call this felony stupidity. This is probably not the right job for Mr. Caldera to be in if he didn't understand the likely reaction of the New Yorkers and the mayor. And while the White House have said they are furious, I think they have to look at whether or not this is the right job for Mr. Caldera.
I think this office is too important to have somebody who doesn't have the judgment to understand the impact of this. This was not necessary.
I wouldn't call it felony stupidity; I call it felony arrogance.
[Update] We now have felony stupidity, felony arrogance, and felony complacency (see comment). I'll go with commenter Stephen den Beste over at Transterrestial Musings:
If people had been told, they might have objected and prevented it.
That fits with the overall theme of Obama wanting what he wants, and not accepting anything that gets in the way of his getting what he wants.
Felony arrogance it is.
Felony Complacency. 9/11 is SO seven and a half years ago.
