Obama does a Cheney

During the pre-election period, Obama worked hard to reassure Americans that he would not take away their guns. According to the NYT, "During an East Room interview with John Harwood for CNBC and The New York Times on Tuesday, a giant fly orbited Mr. Obama’s head. “I got the sucker,” the president boasted after fatally slapping the critter on the back of his hand. That scene became an instant YouTube sensation — and resulted in a complaint from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals..."
Why did Obama have to slap and kill the fly? The flies are harmless, they don't sting, and often go away. At least he did not torture the fly.
