WHY is this news? Has everyone lost thier minds? Can't anyone even swat a fly without it being national news? This is nuts.

YOU GO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!
I would just like to say. my fiance and i buy and feed my tree frogs about 100 crickets a week, and we get the biggest thrill out of watching them hunt down the crickets. Also when these big spider/cockroach looking crickets jump in our home we catch and feed them to our animals also... Is PETA gonna repremand us to?.... i understand the issues on dogs/cats and other animals... but is PETA really seriously!!!! IT'S A FLY.. they die in 3 days anyway. and they spread disease.. so once again YOU GO BOY!!!! your comment was the best!!! i got that sucker!! lol.
AND PS>>> PETA i am allergic to mosquito's.. is it wrong for me to kill everyone that lands on me... or should i just let them bite me and cause seriously itchy softball size welts all over my body?. i wonder if PETA members have ever killed a mosquito?.

THIS is breaking news?! Really? The world is falling apart and THIS is what's making headlines? Wow. Perhaps it's time we gain a little perspective here, cut the President some slack for swatting an annoying fly, and focus on what really matters - namely fixing what's broken in the world!

Ouch! Now I know what it would feel like to be a fly on the wall in the White House.

BTW... Jenny and Maggie You ask why is this news? Why would it not be news? Is there a shortage of ink or "electrons" on the internet? Does everything have to be serious? Why did you waste your time (and mine) commenting? Haven't you got more important things to be doing? You need to lighten up! And really... PETA needs to get a life too.

He's going to hear it from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Insects. In fact, I'm convinced there will be a PETI protest of some kind. PETI people will not stand for this. If you're PETI, call the White House to complain.

I just think Mr Obama is the coolest president i've ever known.So headline or not,breaking news or not ....he is the coolest and he did what he had to do.

PETA kills thousands of dogs and cats a year. They are such hypocrites. Flies carry diseases.

wow how can the president be reprimanded for killing a fly. i kill millions of flies every year. why dont PETA reprimand the flies for the number of people it has helped in killing through the spread of diseases in africa

wow how can the president be reprimanded for killing a fly. i kill millions of flies every year. why dont PETA reprimand the flies for the number of people it has helped in killing through the spread of diseases in africa

Can you believe that the PETA PEOPLE had something to say about this!!!! You guys couldn't be more ridiculous to me. You actually had something to say to President Obama about killing a nasty
fly that lands on the most disgusting things ever. They start out as maggots!
What are you people smoking?!?!?! How bout you use your time for for something a little bit more serious, like the serial cat killer in Miami! Do something about that before we have another Jeffery Dahmer on our hands! You made an example of Michael Vick, lets see what you do with the cat killer!!!

Open your eyes people and at least comprehend the notion that Obama bears no power fix anything in the world.

There are people above him that are really in control, he is just a puppet. Sigh...

Big deal.....Obama kills a fly. Does he media have anything else of importance to report. I will say he did it quite fast and a good job. Now can we get back to taking care of the problems in the country. I saw some Fly paper strips that you hand from the ceiling or elsewhere at the Dollar Tree. (Economical and just $1.00 for several strips) Maybe we can furnish some to the White House for such occasions. Geez let those little creates be stuck until they die. Terrible! Let me know and I can send some.
