There’s this saying in Hindi/Urdu.
Say, someone is sitting around with nothing to do.
You happen by. You say, “Hi, So-And-So, what are you doing?”
They say, “Nothing, just sitting around swatting flies.”
Have a field day, Republican friends.

@Sybil Law, The man *is* a celebrity. He just plays the President on TV.

There were two headline stories on the all-news radio station I listened to yesterday (I was in the car a lot). One was this. The other was about our 120th fallen soldier being brought home from the Middle East.
That kinda made me sad.

@SciFi Dad, That is very sad. You know what’s also sad?The roughly 20,000 Iraqi civilians who died JUST last year.

@Faiqa, Agreed, however I was referring to the amount of news coverage Obama killing a fly was getting here in Canada. I mean, he’s not even our leader. That’s what made me sad.

@SciFi Dad, Oh, yeah, definitely. It is sad how much coverage it’s getting. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that comment to come off as … I don’t know… Bitchy, I guess? I’m having a hard time not being that these days.

You know how hard it is to kill a fly with your bare hands?
Our President is like a SuperPresident! Let the haters haterate.

OMG, that was gut-wrenchingly funny! Yeah, I’m one of “those”, but that doesn’t negate the fact that I find our President pretty… well, humorous at times! Not to mention, he is a hell of a speaker! And, did I mention that the national debt is climbing daily… Shoo-Fly! BAM!
Great post, Faiqa!

@Faiqa,
Faiqa, he’s gonna WRECK healthcare, and as you know, it’s my duty to see this DOESN’T happen, LOL!
I don’t agree 100% with “those” like me, but I don’t agree 100% with anyone usually…
Have a great day!!

@Brett Michaels, Dude. How come you only let sluts on your TV show, House of Love? And remember when I said you were the last 80s rocker with a shred of dignity? And, also, I had no idea we had the same parents. Everything makes sense now.

@Miss Britt, I really don’t think there is anything he can’t do. Except maybe, you know, completely “undo” the eight years of total and utter chaos perpetrated by the last administration. Sigh. I need chocolate.

If only the WORST casualty of his administration was that fly!
Sadly, that is not the case.
Where the fuck is PETA when you need them?

@NYCWD, PETA… sigh, never missing an opportunity to make fools of themselves have, in fact, commented on this incident. See RW’s comment.

@RW, These people are the epitome of … I don’t even know. Their ridiculousness just stuns me. I’m going to have a steak and some non-free range chicken while wearing a fur just to protest their existence.

@Sheila (Charm School Reject), Yeah, according to the article that RW, posted up there, they think he should have caught it and released it into the wild. ::Eye roll::

That was very, very funny. Pretty cool overdub whoever did that.
As for what RW posted, sad to see PETA being the PITA they are at times. I understand bad treatment of animals, but they take it to a ridiculous level.

yeah I thought the funniest part of all this is the fact that PETA was very disappointed in him. Not anything to do with his health care wannabe reform, not with the fact that he’s sending our troops to Afghanistan etc.. but because he killed a fly. GEEZ LOUIZZZEEEE…

Are you referring to republicans because the video said “subscribe to the right” in an overlay?
