Uchdorf - to charismatic for his own good?

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/kiwimormon/2014/08/church-leadership-and-the-dilemma-of-dementia/
someone in the comments claims that Uchdorf is too charismatic and the leadership is pulling stories that are about him. It is detracting from the adulation of Monson!

"I know for a fact that the brethren have been very concerned at the popularity of President Uchdorft as it detracts from the adulation given President Monson and have actively sought to pull stories from the media about Uchdorft. There are smoke and mirrors here - its not the rosy innocent picture that you seem to be suggesting."

Oh man, I was trying to be funny and post "That's okay" twice but the forum wouldn't let me. Makes me wonder how you got away with it...

On facebook and all around the internet ...

Uchdorft is being quoted ... I don't even want to re-look up the quote ... but it is a quote about picking yourself up and trying again.

my SIL posted it (so I gave it two seconds of attention) but it seemed too canned ... and too COMMON KNOWLEDGE kind of stuff to be really "quote-worthy" ... so I gave it a couple more minutes of attention.

After two MINUTES of googling I replyed to my SIL's quote the exact reference and page number and ISBN number of the non-mormon who originally said the "quotable" quote -- and it was published in 2002.

GAG ... my anti-mormon sentiment was almost instantly deleted. Nothing from SIL at all ... just head-in-the-sand sheep. Uchdorft is still the GREATEST !!!
