The Pesky Problem Buzzing Around the White House
EmailOn Tuesday, Barack Obama sat down for an interview to discuss financial regulatory reforms. In the middle of the interview, he was distracted – by a fly – which he slapped and killed.
“I got it. I got the sucker,” said the President.
Well, as it turns out, that fly had lots of friends in the White House. Sunlen Miller explains on today’s webcast:

Gee, those so called flies on the wall sure look a lot like mosquitos.
I want to ask the BDPP™ (brain dead peta person) what the legal ramifications are when someone traps a mosquito and then lets it go.
Let’s say that mosquito gives someone encephalitis, could you be sued for helping it spread a disease?
Isn’t killing it the responsible thing to do?

that’s the attitude held by the european settlers of the americas, “if something bothers you just kill it.” The end result was wholesale slaughter of all living things, destruction of the environment, and extreme selfishness and shortsightedness. Look around you at what that attitude has done to the world. All you’ll see is suffering and destruction caused by greed and selfishness.
It doesn’t take a lot of effort to be kind and humane, killing should only be done if there are no available options. It is even more important, being the president, to set a good example. Imagine all the children that have just been reinforced to kill things that pester them without so much as a thought.

You’ve really reached a new low when you start photographing and writing a news story about the flies that obama swats.
Perhaps you need to take a look at how far your love-fest with this administration has gone.
