Would give the Obama folks and their friends in the media free reign.
I think that is the point!
That might not be a Bad Thing. The only time he'll have their attention is when they are attacking him. Pointing out how old he is, how his (supposed) quick temper makes him unsuitable to have his finger on the nuclear trigger , how his health is bad, how he bad he looks compared to young, vibrant (and dumb) Obama, how incompetent he is, having lost five US aircraft making him a reverse ace. They might even mention how rotten he is, divorcing his wife who waited for him all those years during that Imperialist Aggression in Southeast Asia, taking up with a rich, inherited money, capitalist (and a beer baroness yet).
Oh, yeah, being out of their sights would not be a bad thing at all.
Meanwhile Rush, Hannity, Coulter, Levin, and many others can do the work he should be, but won't be, doing, pointing out how much worse Obama is.
