PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly

You have likely all seen the gory brutality that the messiah displayed during an interview on CNBC with John Harwood when an uncommonly brazen housefly dared to interupt his swineness. Well, it seems that his dastardly devilish inhumane deed did not go completely unnoticed. The folks at PETA, although generally great pals of the messiah, have not been able to reconcile this act of brutality perpetrated against a member of the defenseless animal kingdom. They have decided to react.

The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."

Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.

Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."

Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.

Please be sure to view the clip at the bottom of the article, especially the end where our dispicable president KICKS that poor defenseless, and probably dead by then, fly under the bus. It is a temper tantrum that you will not want to miss. No wonder the people closest to him are so careful not to piss him off. Is that what REALLY happened to our Secretary of State?
