[re=340327]facehead[/re]: Well, hell. I just knew that I’d be fast enough to post the first Karate Kid joke.

Alas, no.

What the hell is Homeland Security doing about flies? They get into the White House as if it were a barn.

Yes You Can Own A Piece of History June 16, 2009 at 6:03 pm

Oh sweet jeebus. Some group is going to go ape shit over him killing a fly.

qwerty42 June 16, 2009 at 6:05 pm

maybe he should have used Pai Mei’s Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique?

[re=340332]Min[/re]: Oddly enough I thought I’d be fast enough to be the second poster, that the first would make the first Karate Kid joke, but that I’d be the first to point that out to him that I was one away.

Internally valid June 16, 2009 at 6:05 pm

The secret is to imagine that the fly is something you hate, like a fetus.

Texan Bulldoggette June 16, 2009 at 6:07 pm

If he were a lizard person, he’d have used his tongue, flicked it out of thin air & eaten it. I’m still waiting for Barry to part the waters or bring some locusts.

Tonight on Fox News, “SEE OBAMA KILL & LAUGH ABOUT IT!!! ARE YOUR GUNS NEXT?”

I’m sorry. Does this really qualify as “breaking news”?

m_supercomputer June 16, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Man, I have as much of a crush on Obama as any lame twenty-something lefty, but even I was embarrassed about CNBC guy’s fawning. Christ.

That said, I expect the wingnut conspiracy theory of the evening will be that Obama’s people brought the fly along on *purpose* to distract the interviewer from proving that he’s regulating the free market because he wants us all to be less free.

slappypaddy June 16, 2009 at 6:09 pm

as if we had any doubts this guy was a killer. we know what he had done to those three pirates a while back. enemies of the islamo-atheistic-socialist-and-what-have-you (buttseks, also?) revolution, take heed! yer daze is numbered.

I guess that fly wasn’t too big to fail.

dennymcden June 16, 2009 at 6:15 pm

Why won’t anyone pay attention to the fact that the fly was trying to tell the truth?? That fly was the only patriot in the room. We should also demand an apology, you know, because of the military.

Extemporanus June 16, 2009 at 6:15 pm

David Shuster played the clip at the end of his threesome with Tamron Hall and Harwood, right before “Hardball.” This is an actual TRUE transcript:

Harwood: “It was a ‘Dirty Harry-Make My Day’ moment. At the end of the interview, he picked up a napkin and said ‘I clean up after myself’ and picked the fly up off the carpet.”

Shuster: “You know, Tamron, it never fails: Great weather, rainbows, incredible speeches, a three-point basket, and he nails it. Unbelievable!”

Tamron: “I want to have Mr. Miyagi’s babies [or something to that effect].”

Well done, Barack-san. Well done.

facehead June 16, 2009 at 6:15 pm

[re=340367]dennymcden[/re]: That fly was obviously looking for Obama’s birth certificate

Slow news day is slow.

Lascauxcaveman June 16, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Yet two more INCREDIBLY UNCANNY similarities between me and my prez.

I, too, am absolutley lethal to marauding houseflies, killing without remorse or even conscious thought.

That, and I have the same aubusson carpet in my cave.

WhatTheHeck June 16, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Yeah, but Dick Cheney would have used a 12 gage fly swatter.

orange June 16, 2009 at 6:26 pm

stone-cold abortin’ shit.

Another DC Lawyer (Again) June 16, 2009 at 6:27 pm

Where is the OUTRAGE? Obama is a killer! You know who else kills defenseless flies? Muzlins. And terrorizers. And abortionists.

In fact, that fly was a metafore for innocent feetuses, inncocently floating around the womb/white house and that terrorist muzlin man just went and killed it. TERRORIST!

mayor_quimby June 16, 2009 at 6:29 pm

I must say that that is much more impressive than clearing brush. Or falling ON YOUR FACE while mountain biking. The man just has good media karma.
W choked on a pretzel, passed out and cut his face, and he actually told people what happened. That was either the truth, or the best lie they could come up with!
Obama kills things with his bare hands live on camera.
Let some Iraqi try to throw a shoe his way, he’ll catch those bitches and throw them right back, killing the infiltrator instantly.

Hooray For Anything June 16, 2009 at 6:31 pm

[re=340390]WhatTheHeck[/re]: I think Cheney would have captured the thing and then pulled the flies wings off with tweezers and then lit it on fire. Bush would have gotten the 12 gage fly swatter and shoot up half the White House. Then, when the fly was finally dead, he’d dress up in an Insect Repellant outfit and strutted around the White House while talking about the great victory he had against insects that hate our freedom.

The Station Manager June 16, 2009 at 6:33 pm

Oh man, I am so going to alert PeTA about this, and they’re going to picket his fly-killing ass, get naked for some reason, then try to convert broke Mexicans at the border to “Go Vegan And Don’t Kill Flies”.

WIld Turkey June 16, 2009 at 6:35 pm

Personally, I would have preferred the Dennis Kucinich version:

He would have caught the fly, stopped the interview, and taken the fly outside to release it unharmed.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 16, 2009 at 6:37 pm

Oh sure, Obama will kill a fly, but will he nuke Iran? Appeaser!

Pat Pending June 16, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Wow. Even though I’m still pissed about the White House logs and current waffling on healthcare and shit, he kills a fly and I’m all impressed again. Dubya would have accidentally swallowed and then choked on it.

Obama CAN carry the ‘bad muthafucka’ wallet.

Lord Growing June 16, 2009 at 6:39 pm

There goes the always important Jain vote.
2012′s gonna be tough.

Josh Fruhlinger June 16, 2009 at 6:42 pm

The best part was after he killed it, when he demanded approbation from his press secretary/personal lackey Robert Gibbs. “Whaddya think, Gibbs?” “That … that is very good. You are powerful and mighty. Thank you for not beating me to death like you did that fly, though I am as worthless.”

imissopus June 16, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Man, that Obama is a bad mother–

Shut yo mouth!

I’m talkin’ ’bout Obama.

And we can dig it!

imissopus June 16, 2009 at 6:46 pm

I for one do not welcome our new fly overlords.

The fly is a metaphor for [insert right-wing or left-wing cause that Obama is currently defeating and/or ignoring]

populucious June 16, 2009 at 7:04 pm

[re=340417]Josh Fruhlinger[/re]: You could feel everyone in the room psychologically rolling over on their backs and exposing their bellies.

And yes, PETA will have Something To Say About This, Mr Obama, or should we say Mr O-betrayer!

One Yield Regular June 16, 2009 at 7:08 pm

I just keep picturing the end of the 1958 version of “The Fly,” except with John Boehner’s head on the thing as it lies there writhing on the floor after Obama’s slapped it, squeaking “Help me! Help me!”

Expect lots of flies to show up in political cartoons in the next few weeks.

No doubt, a baby fly.

A belated sally towards John “Fly-Boy” MccCain.

Witsendnj June 16, 2009 at 8:14 pm

I don’t know. I watched it several times but much as I adore Obama, I think it might have been a more competitive stunt had there been, in the background, some turkeys being butchered with, of course, swarms of flies all around. Also.

AxmxZ June 16, 2009 at 8:22 pm

The President, as he points to the wrecked fly on the nicely carpeted aerodrome: “CONFIRMED!”

Witsendnj June 16, 2009 at 10:36 pm

I take pride in my own fly-smacking skills. People are impressed, usually, and now I have something in common with our Preznit, Barack fly-killer Obama. This is just, a true fact.

And the other important thing is, he doesn’t go all squeamish with the germy detritus. This is a good thing.

I know so many parents who are petrified of germs. And pedophiles. But GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE that is going to destroy our environment and cause mass extinction and widespread famine and disastrous insect borne diseases and drought and water shortages…oh, please, fill the swimming pool and spew sprinklers all over my private club golf course!

Eh. visit my blog at witsendnj dot blogspot dot com if you think you can stand any more of such stuff.

He’s so SEXY when he’s diabolical.

dijetlo June 16, 2009 at 11:41 pm

A true Zen Master would have snatched it mid flight and released it to demonstrate all life is water drawn from the same well. Of course a true Zen Master would have smacked Chris across the head for being such a rump nuzzler long before the fly landed.

Paul Tardy June 17, 2009 at 12:16 am

I call fake. Total crap never happened. The fly was a prop. B Hussein Obama can kill flies like W could fly airplanes. Sheeesh. You people are so easily fooled.

I was disturbed that he didn’t ask for a wipey or get up and wash his hands. Did I miss something? Did Gibbs get up and lick his hands?
