Obama vs. Pesky Fly
Our beloved leader, Barack Obama, is making headlines for swatting an insect during a televised interview with CNBC's John Harwood. Who hasn't killed a fly, at least once? Apparently, PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - is outraged by Obama's seemingly normal response to this bothersome pest. "He isn't the Buddha," Ingrid Newkirk, President of PETA stated. "He's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."
Ah, thank you PETA, for revealing that Barack Obama has yet to reach enlightenment. As a longtime vegetarian and presently strict vegan, I can provide an unbiased opinion on the topic that has become an Internet sensation. I place a strong value on the well-being of creatures large and small, but the hype is absurd! The obsession with Obama's fly-bashing has gotten a little out of control.
On the bright side, I think we could all use a break from topics such as universal healthcare, national defense and the economic recession. Swat-away, Mr. President!
