| Obama swats fly, disappoints PETA
PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly | Quote: |  | | | Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter. | | | | | rizolltizide called it

Believe it or not, my grandson does exactly that, I live on a canal and he wants to fish, but he won't even put a worm or cricket on a hook. But, he's heavily into martial arts (he's 23) and thinks nothing of punching one of his buddies goofy while sparring.

I found a sort of interesting commentary on the relationship between martial arts and the non-violent ideals of the Eastern religions with which they are associated. Ahimsa and Martial Arts

I'm not really sure why PETA would have a problem with Obama killing the fly, he probably brought it back from the dead as soon as the cameras were off.  | |
