Whats really is sad, is that the media is so concerned to waste their time to put this on TV, and make such a fuss about it. Don't get me wrong, i aint backing up the guy or anything, but why on earth would they care if some guy killed a fly. why why ???

That's just how our media is these days.

I'm not very fond of Obama at all. I'll like him more if he actually starts backing up anything he said during his campaign. Other than make the Economic problem worse..

It's sad that he's the President and he's a youtube sensation. >>

Wait a minute, if I remember you didn't like what he was saying during the campaign anyway so surely you should be happy if you believe he's not implimenting those things

Exactly. I didn't like what he was saying, but that stuff is better than the nothing he is doing now. I mean he's in office till 2012. I'd rather him do something then nothing.

EDIT:. Actually I'd rather him do nothing now that I think about it. He tried to fix the economy with a bailout... that didn't work. He tried to help GM and several other companies that were doomed to fail. That didn't work.

So yeah he shouldn't try anything else.

What a waste of presidential time, Obama should be helping with the Iran voting crisis and as for GM, it needed to flop over completely with no help.

This should've been a youtube poop which are bloopers and not being put up as a regular video.

Its better than nothing really. If we didn't have a government, things would be off much worse than they are now.

QUOTEPETA Says No More Fly-Killing, Sends Obama a Humane Fly Catcher

June 17, 2009 10:55 PM

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:

PETA has a few words for President Obama: Brush, don’t kill.

After the President very publically swatted and then killed a fly during an interview with CNBC yesterday, the outspoken animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said they wished Obama had served a better example.

“We support compassion for the even the smallest animals," says Bruce Friedrich, VP for Policy at PETA. “We support giving insects the benefit of the doubt."

Friedrich says PETA supports "brushing flies away rather than killing them" and was disappointed that the President had gone ahead and squashed the pesky fly.

This afternoon PETA sent a Katcha Bug, a device which traps bugs and allows their safe release back into nature to the White House.

PETA hopes the President will use the catcher but has no far not received communication back from the White House, although they did not ask for specific correspondence.

Friedrich admits that despite his fly-swatting ways, the President has been a champion for animal rights in the past. PETA claims to be pleased by Obama’s denouncement of factory farming, Canadian seal hunting andMichelle Obama’s stance against wearing fur.

obama should kill a mosquito, then let peta rant over it, then get self pwned due to dengue fever and such if they're not killed

May be a good thing, Rise Against should write a song for this! They support PETA and animal rights after all.
