Smart. Why paint a target on your back?
Obama without an opponent will meanwhile spend the time looking cool, collected, heroic, unifying and reeking with new found gravitas, love for America, free to attract unencumbered by Republicans all the Independents who will mellow seeing now anew the 2008 Obama they voted for in the first place. Gush, gush.
See Obama inviting Bush to NYC showing his magnanimous generosity after OBL; has Pelosi dial up Bush to thank him for the OBL “get”; bringing in wounded warriors to the Rose Garden to announce the extended and well deserved benefits beginning for them; headed in September to Ground Zero in a modest quiet way with no speech planned. It’s great having no pesky serious opposition who will expose his charm campaign versus the reality of his governance as a deadly serious socialist/marxist/communist.
