If you were craving a bad-ass moment from President Obama, this is it. The Commander in Chief paused an interview to annihilate a fly buzzing around his head with one loud slap, declaring “that was pretty impressive, wasn’t it?” as the insect lay dead on the ground.
The attention-hungry animal rights group PETA is – of course – less impressed with the President’s handiwork. The animal lovers will be delivering a batch of humane fly catchers to the White House in protest, and also released a statement about the swat. “We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” said the group’s spokesperson. “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”
Uh,we hate to break it to you PETA, but he’s the mother-effing President. And if he wants to, he can – and will - hurt a fly. [HuffingtonPost]
