and instability in the US as election day approaches?
Is the Obama Administration and the Federal Govt preparing for this possibility.
It is clear that the only way ReTHUGs can win is chaos and confusion.

David Ignatius was on TV yesterday. He's been reading all the docs they found in Bin Laden's house. He read about how much Bin Laden hated Obama being in power because Obama didn't push the "Muslims are bad" meme like Bush did.
My point, I think it is an organized effort by Al Qaeda, dissidents and protesters to affect the US election.

I'm not sure they want to because it can spin out of control. I don't know if the reelection of Obama scares them enough to create too much havoc. With the stasis in Congress, a pet Supreme Court, and a cautious president, I'm not sure they feel too threatened.
They would like Mittens to be president and will spend a pittance of their real value to elect him. They view it strictly as power and money. The social issues matter not a whit to them except as to move people.
I think they pulled the plug in 2008, but McCain made a hash of that. There were major financial problems, but the actions of people would have been different if McCain had won. I don't think the corporations and banks would sit on their money as the economy sank. There would not be such high unemployment as time passed. Obama got a real harsh lesson because he was unknown and not to be trusted. I don't think they would have harried Hillary this much.
They aren't Rethugs so much as they are those that want to rule the world by hook or crook.
