Once again, you aim your sites at Pailin. As I have said, I recall seeing the Obama girls with their father during the campaign, so why not focus on Obama as well? Being that he is president, one could argue if there was any 'damage' doen to his children during the campaign, it has only been magnified since he won.
Would you be OK with the press, or anyone else, trying to dig up dirt on President Obama's children - or the children of any other politician not named 'Pailin' for the same reasons?
