President Obama's Swatting Skills


PETA condemned the action of President Obama when he swatted a fly that was bothering him while being interviewed by John Harwood of CNBC. I think this incident is really an eye opener to Obama because he is the president of the most powerful state and all his actions are being judged from what he eats to what he kills. Maybe he might also be scrutinized if he kills a bed bug or a mosquito that could bite him. It is really hard to be under the scrutiny of the public eye because even swatting an insect can be judged as a bad thing. He is after all human and his action was just a natural response from a training he got from his family on how to deal with flies in the house when he was young. They should also scrutinize the cleaning staff because if the place was cleaned well flies would not be flying around like that. I think this also sends a message that Obama is just like most common people. He sees a fly and it is bugging him incessantly and he swats it. Most people would do it. Other elite ones who never had to deal with flies or would have someone kill the flies for them would find it really yucky.
