  Puhleeeze.  That's like asking if the President of the USA hires a speech 
writer to record his deep thoughts.  Or a publicist to help him "formulate 
his words."  A real PJ would shoot (and be able to publish) warts and all.  A 
hired gun for the Presidency at this point is likely nothing more than a 
glorified fluffer, using his or her compositional tools and photographic 
skills to present images of Presidential "courage" "vision" "heroic deeds" 
and equally patriotic and long-lived buzz words.
