PETA freakout: Obama kills a fly
Wed, Jun 17 2009 at 11:28 PM EST
PETA freaked out all over themselves after President Obama killed a fly during an interview, doing it in a very ninja-like fashion I might add. Obama = Neo?
I agree with my pal Michael at Ecorazzi who wrote:
PETA, however, was none too happy with Obama’s action. “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.”
Sigh. I’m all for the relocation of insects over killing them, but I think PETA should pick their battles a bit better.
PETA got some press out of it, but they, once again, made themselves look like completely batship crazy crazies.

If you read the entire article you'll see that they didn't "pick that battle". They stated several media outlets wanted to know their position on the event. That statement wasn't them freaking out. It was more of a statement that they understand that swatting a fly is a natural reaction and only someone as compassionate and peaceful as Buddah would stop to consider the life of the fly before swatting it.
This is the third time today I've heard the media saying PETA is upset with Obama,.... More

we've got a kickass president. The only way it would have been cooler is if he had used chopsticks.
Come on!!!!
Who has not killed a fly???? I kill cockroaches all day long. Give me a break!!! They are pest and they just bring bacteria to our homes. If we do not kill them, then we have a pest invasion. This country is to critical. We are just humans, even if you are the president. Stop making a scandal out of everything!!! Americans all for entertaining your self’s!!!
