Obama Tortures Flies! - “I got the Sucker…”
If you haven’t witnessed this display of ninja-like reflexes; I thought I would share!
The fact that this has become big news seems to have Americans up in arms! After reading the comments in the St. Petersburg Times this morning, it reminded me of how much Americans just like to bitch!
Here’s an example of the verbal diarrhea that was spewed forth as one of the comments that I read this morning. “Was thinking the same thing as John. Economy is in shambles, Iran is on the verge of civil war, North Korea is ready to shoot missiles at us but the paper put a story on the front page about a fly. God save us all.”
Oh for the love of the Gods! Lighten up! Of course this isn’t the biggest story in the news, but I must say that it is quite an impressive feat! Have you every tried to kill a fly with your bare hands? No easy task, I’ll tell ya’! It’s a funny story and with all the sadness and bad news in the world, couldn’t we all use a laugh? Honestly?
According to the PETA website, “Believe it or not, we’ve actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA’s official response to the executive insect execution.” Oh My God! Are you serious?!?! Even PETA is walking on eggshells on this one! PETA’s response was this… “In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn’t the Buddha, he’s a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.” This response tells me that PETA thinks it is ridiculous as well, but does not want to upset any of their sensitive followers and has to smooth this one over. In which case, they sent the president a gift: a Katcha Bug™ Humane Bug Catcher . My guess is that this gift was more to stroke the pettiness of some of their followers than anything else.
Let’s think about this for just second; what exactly was the fly’s reason for landing on our Commander and Chief? hmmm…my guess, is to throw up, eat it’s own vomit and possibly lay eggs for it’s little maggot offspring to hatch on his finely pressed attire!! EWWW!
Anyone who has read my blog, knows that I love all animals, I pride myself in being a speaker for the rights of our fine furry friends, but come on people it was a FLY!!!

I don’t like Obama and I think he’s doing a lousy job, but even I was taken aback by the whole fly episode. I do wish I could swat a fly with such agile reflexes. I usually miss, they buzz my ears, then there is cursing, running, chasing, and finally when all hope is lost, the cat gets the little sucker. Really, it’s not news, is it? If he could swat Kim Jong il with such stealth, his ratings would surely go up in my mind.

Well, like you said “even I was taken aback”, It may not be “news” but it is entertainment… lol And entertainment makes the news a little lighter than the usual “everything sucks” that you read about on a daily basis!

Hi Barbara! I’d vote for him…
I can barely get a fly with a fly swatter, my cats are much better at it than I am..
