This is unbelievable. If Obama is such a heartless fiend that he could take another creatures life with remorseless delight, how can we trust him to lead the country? This is just another example of the anti-fly agenda running amok. This would never happen on George W's watch. He even spent trillions creating habitat.

PETA 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, donât 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.
âWe support compassion for the even the smallest animals," says Bruce Friedrich, VP for Policy at PETA. âWe 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.
