He Doesn’t Fly

“Swatting a fly on TV indicates he’s not perfect,” Bruce Friedrich from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)said about President Obama.  The President killed a fly during an interview with CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, 16th June 2009, The Daily Telegraph stated.

While answering the correspondent, John Harwood, Obama was distracted by a fly. After trying to get it go away, he waited the insect to settle (on his left hand), and smacked it right away.

PETA sent 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,” Friedrich stated. “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”
