Al, > This guy is going to get himself fired...

There's a term among blackjack card counters when a pit boss is paying close attention to a suspected counter. It's called "laying on the heat," and it's a time-honored technique to make counters feel nervous or otherwise move on.

I think the Obama press secretary is laying the heat on Rick Santelli, then letting the media follow suit. It works if you still have political capital to spend, which Obama does.
