The President is unveiling his gun control agenda this morning, but Politico reports on this ad that the NRA released to get the PR jump on the crafty Prez. This should work well:Actually, it may well work. I wouldn't underestimate the power of the NRA and the public's fascination with possessing heavy duty weaponry.From the ad:

"Are the president's kids more important than yours?" a narrator asks. "Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their schools? Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he's just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security."
