President Obama killed a fly! President Obama killed a fly! “The poise! The cupping!” Swoon. Drool. Faint:

And for his next trick, chopsticks a la Mr. Miyagi:

    Surely that was file footage from when President Bush dodged the flying shoes with cat-like reflexes.

    What? You mean when that happened there weren’t any MSM anchors swooning over his ninja moves?!

    No. They would have given him another chance until they got the required footage. For all we know this was a re-do.

    Sometimes I think BHO must be laughing to himself at the mindless sycophants in the MSM. He probably gets a kick out of destroying any semblance of self-respect and dignity in the mighty “Fourth Estate”. Who can blame him?

    I never would have thought that the MSM would degenerate into such a primoral glob of slime. Maybe scientists can benefit by study of this incredible occurrence; the mainstream medias actually regressing to display the intellect of the first traces of life to appear on earth. Millions of years of evolution lost in just a few brief months.

I’ve seen other live events where a fly is quite visible in front of a person’s face, but did not see it on this clip. Maybe it’s just because I don’t have HD TV…

    This is a no joke inciddent. I am currently working with a vast amount of not just Liberals, but mindless Obama drones right now, and I found out about this by one of them, who happens to be a good friend of mine for many years telling another one about this incident. he told how Der Fuhrer killed this fly, and then went on about “what a stud” he was to have done such a thing, how fast, what wit he used after the murder of this poor, defenseless fly…

    I cannot get myself to repeat what the response from the person he was telling this tale to was. I was standing there, jaw halfway to the floor, numb over the reactions from these two, normally intelligent, people over Dear Leader killing a bug. I just turned and walked away, as there was just nothing I could say.

    We saw a great many instances of insanity over the Bush Administration to the point it was given a diagnosis..Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS), but that apparenntly was NOTHING compared to the insanity that is being bred amongst the same people over Obama and his demi-god status.

    Imagine, just imagine if you will, had President Bush killed some annoying insect on television, then told the film crew to film the dead bug on the ground, let alone have Bush claim that said killing was, “rather impressive”. What do you think the reacting from all these insane Liberals would have been? I mean, besides the new calls for impeachement brought about by PETA and other animal nuts. There would not have been an outpouring of admiration and affection for him for said killing, and the only thing that would have been heard would have been new caterwauling from the Left over what a complete idiot and dork he was.

    Seriously, I cannot get my brain around the way these people think and feel about this moron. This man is singlehandedly dealing disaster to this nation on a daily basis, removing individual freedoms as if they were, well, flys on his lapel, and these mindless drones sit there applauding him and going on about what a great leader he is.

    I can’t wait to see what the future historians will write about this period of time, especially after this usurper is exposed and he comes crashing down to earth. I only pray it happens sooner rather than later, before serious irreparable harm is done to this country, it’s citizens and God knows what and where else.

    BTW…WHERE’S THE LONG-FORM BC?

    I know.

    And I have to laugh that PETA is now all up in arms about Obama killing a fly.

    You know, a thing that feasts on decaying food and, well, other disgusting things. From the article:

    Norfolk-based group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he’s bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

    PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

    Next on the docket – renaming flies “airborne kitties”. :roll:

    This bears repeating from Obama’s own words and to the comments regarding his “poise” which as even he has said, isn’t expected from a black man:

    “People are satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved – such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.”

    I can’t play it again – I won’t play it again, but did the esteemed journalist on the left actually say “think that is a warning to Republicans” during the witty banter about how awesome Obama is?

    The Republicans, huh? Not Iran? Not North Korea. Not terrorists? Pretty revealing.

    It’s hard to tell, the witty comments were flying fast and furious. She was talking while the grinning idiot on the right was speaking.

    Right before he mentioned something about how this soldifies Obama’s toughguy creds…

    You can’t make this stuff up. Parody will soon be dead in this country. The right will have nothing to parody, because of stuff like this.

    The left can’t do parody anymore. Hate and bitterness does not mix with parody.

    Why should the United States or its citizens feel that they have to apologize to the world for being attacked or go on a PR campaign to improve its image? We do not! I feel that our President puts us at shame when he recently said in a trip overseas that he will restore America to its greatness. WE ARE A GREAT NATION, WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A GREAT NATION, AND I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. I don’t need to apologize and the President should not be apologizing to the world for me or for the U.S. for actions that are necessary to bring justice to the over 3000 victims and their families and to prevent further terrorist attacks on our nation.
