All you have to do is look at how Hillary has been pilloried, non-stop, since the election.

Instead of being able to get any "message" out, there would merely be mass media insistence that the Obamas "respond" to the ridicule, conspiracy theories, and hatred that would certainly ensue (and probably not just from the right as we have seen right here on DU). His mere historical election and Presidency caused tens of millions to lose their minds, and we are feeling the impact of that mass insanity today.
