I get what you are saying but this is how it looks to me.
If the choice is between an Obama like PR miracle or Steve Wozniac i'l take the latter. Remember the devs Arent hired as PR people. When we start getting nitpicky and butthurt about comments they make because it oculd be taken negatively we are ruining our own chances of communicating with people who actually matter and instead we are getting people like Lore, who is a great guy but has basicly no influence.
