"Wow....was that him personally or his image team that did that? "

As I understand it the aids and handlers werethe ones that gave the orders. Who knows who made the decision. They don't talk about that stuff.

"I shall quote this to people so they get an idea of just how doctored his image is. "

Recall how important image is to someone that really doesn't have the gravitas from having accomplished anything of real stature or standing. Nothing at all. Even the Nobel prize wasn't something he earned. We can agree on that right?
