While I expect VJ is primarily posting about this in jest, don't think for one second that the WH allowed this to go out without going over the final edit of the entire article with a fine-toothed comb...VJ, the link you so kindly provided clearly states the magazine "Washington Mom" did the photoshopping. Shouldn't your ire and ridicule be directed at the magazine?
I can't join you on your circuitous journey, but many others here will travel with you. I thought I had brought you closer to the light but alas, that was illusory.
