You’ve got to watch this. The Prez swats a fly and the “objective” media is astounded. They acted like he just achieved world peace. It’s actually pretty funny if they weren’t grownups.
I think if Bush had killed a fly, PETA would’ve protested the uneccessary slaughter.

"It's actually pretty funny if they weren't grownups."
Actually, it's even funnier if they ARE.

good point David L.

I couldn't believe it (I know I should know better) when I saw this under the "Latest News" on CNN.com. When did killing a fly become newsworthy?

Color me unsurprised. People applauded when he blew his nose in front of them, remember?

Big deal – catch it with chopsticks, then I'll be impressed.

It is terribly sad…the level to which these people will go. :p

I can't wait for the MSM reaction the first time he inadvertently "squashes a duck" as my five year old would phrase it.

Oh my gosh…My DH just seen this now with me for the first time and said "That's NEWS!". I until the video started to play thought it was a joke. Okay so it's still a joke, but not how I was thinking aft first.

Even better, he asks for the news to approve of his kill and darned if they don't. "That was pretty good wasn't it?"
Where's PETA? Don't they have a section for insects? Peti?

Great weather, rainbows when he speaks… – From the end of the clip (and at the start).
Is it just me, or has the media gone into "Dear Leader" level of cultish fawning over Obama?
Kinda like this bit of Kim Jong-il'n bit of cult worship

Lord of the flies, as in Beelzebub? Killing one of his own to make a point, eh.
June 18, 2009 at 5:24 am
That's the same look my dog gets on her face just before she snaps at a fly. Hmmm.

PETA actually was upset that he did this. They sent him a "Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher"

It is pretty funny that PETA now thinks the "Supreme Leader" is "not so perfect"…these people are less pro animal than anti-human. I'm sure they protest mosquito spraying, even though it saves lives…those pooooor mosquitos! 🙂

Satire is going to become increasingly difficult.

All hail our fearless O
Who with a single blow
Strikes down the pest.
Hail him on bended knee,
Master of swattery,
Who by his mighty victory
Has mankind blessed.

Its so funny that you posted the thing about PETA and then they actually came out and complained about it haha.
June 20, 2009 at 2:58 am
hmmm… i wonder what attracted the fly?
