WASHINGTON – 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.[/quote]
Looks like the White House is a no-fly zone.

I fucking hate PETA.
Holy shit that is a big fly.
Obama is joining the ranks of bad ass world leaders.
We should release hundreds of fruit flies into the PETA spokesman's house and see how he likes those "curious, small, and least sympathetic animals" now.
"He killed a fly! He's a bad president!"
Even though most flies die within a day. But yes, definitely worth buying something to safely catch and release it.
The fly didn't see the ninja skill coming.
Holy hell. Obama is a goddamn ninja.

Why I do declare that there was an error in your post which I have rectified.
I love Obama.
Holy christ, its a fucking fly, stop crying. They have a lifespan of a week anyway.
We need Dick Cheney to tell PETA to fuck off. Seriously.
how come we can kill flies but not humans
Jesus fucking christ, it's only a fly. :rolleyes:
Instincts like a tiger.

Like the stunt with Bill Gate's speech, only you don't have the guy checked for malaria.
R.I.P Fly.

According to PETA, we can't.
Dear God not the flies. [img]http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-supaburn.gif[/img]
... It's a fly.
Nothing is going to miss that thing.
I'm surprised nobody made a "BEEEEEEEEES!" joke yet.
...BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Obamas declaring war.
I don't know who's more annoying, PETA or the fly.
Obama should SWAT the PETA if you know what I mean.
Get off your high horse PETA.
Flies aren't animals, they're insects.
And don't say "part of the animal kingdom" because so are tape worms but no one cares about them.

:pcgaming1:
but replace it with a fly or something
Obama swats flies LIKE A BOSS.
Bush probably would have choked on that fly.

PETA doesn't care about humans.
I remember when I was young PETA was protesting a McDonalds or something, and while we were eating there a boy felled over, broke his fucking face open (And it was pretty bad, he landed on a sharp rock), but when he landed he fell on a dog (The kid was small). PETA ran over, and helped the dog [b]THAT WASN'T EVEN HURT![/b] And just left the kid there bleeding to death. (Other people of course helped him)

Exactly. PETA doesn't love animals, they just hate humans.
see it's shit like this that makes me hate peta
on the broadest part they have a good mission: Prevent animal cruelty
but they go so fucking crazy with it
it makes me lose respect for Bill Maher, even after Religulous (he's on the board of directors)
It's a fly...
Do they really care about that one fly?
This is the kind of stuff PETA does that further proves how much of a bunch of idiots they are.
I think it was awesomer when Bush dodged that foot that was thrown at him.
