if you have been reading this blog you probably know that im not big into animal or insect rights, however i did feel compelled to write about this topic. obama the fly swatter.
when i saw the alleged obama fly swatting episode the first thought that ran through my mind was "what will peta's reaction be?" well, i wasnt disappointed. peta denounced obama's actions and sent him a humane fly catcher that sucks up the fly so you can later send the fly (alive) back to nature.
anyone remember that saying"wouldnt hurt a fly"? apparently this attribute cannot be attributed to our fearless president obama. hmm....
i also managed to find the reactions to many vegans about obama's fly smashing. many defended him. they thought it only natural to swat a fly. yeah, well if bibi had done the same thing they would be all over him like white on rice!
growing up my mom had a fly swatter and she would often swat flies with it. i do remember her opening the back door of our house to try to guide bees out of the house without swatting them first.
i dont think the obama fly fiasco is a problem on a literal level, i think the issue is what it represents. what message is this fly trying to tell us? how many world leader fly swattings can you recall? obama also had a noticeable fly on his head during the presidential debates. what's up with this? what about him attracts the flies so? even obama worshippers have to admit this is kind of odd.
my final question is what issue was obama discussing with john harwood of cnn during this fly swatting? does anyone even remember?

Of Obama enjoys swatting terrorists as much as he enjoys swatting flies, I'm all for it.
A humane fly catcher? Is that like a vacuum with a bad motor or something? Can we get a bigger version to use on PETA members to catch them and then release them into the wild?
I saw on some other site a joke about Obama swatting a fly and what PETA said, I didn't realize that it was a true thing that happened.
I agree you to some extent.
