4. My horror in my heart is that the President and Mrs. Obama are going to be informed about this and how it will hurt. God forbid Malia gets wind of it. This is such a disgusting matter and my heart just aches for them. Good that it's getting out there I know, just so sad to have this family so hurt.
It appears to me that Mr. Parry is responsible for bringing this to the Obamas' attention. He could have referred to the posts as being questionable and twisted, rather than posting outright hurtful phrases that are now in the MSM.
