Obama Crushes Pesky Fly On CNBC (VIDEO)

President Barack Obama had a lengthy interview on CNBC today to talk Wall Street, health care, and his proposed financial industry reforms. The President was interrupted, however, by a pesky fly.

During a break in the interview, the President made quick work of the pest. "That was pretty impressive wasn't it?" President Obama said. "I got the sucker."

[vietveter]

Now grasshopper, try and take the healthcare from the population.

[freelyb]

LOVE it!

[avchavis]

Symbolic jesture for what Obama will do to the GOPers and their ridiculous rhetoric spew. Slap it down!

[JustForComments]

What, no one here is mentioning PETA . . . . .

[Holypat777]

The less we hear of PETA the better. Seriously, a fly?

[joceeco]

That's the same thing he said after he beat McCain, "I got the sucker!"

[barackobama4prez]

Funny! I can't wait for the right to react:

"President Obama shows that he doesn't value life and all of God's creatures and blah blah blah..."

[grata2ude]

They will demand the corner exhume the body of the fly to check and see if the fly was pregnant. If it was there will be protests outside the Raid factories across the USA.

[grata2ude]

meant coroner

[luvangelHussein330]

Funny metephor for what happened to the GOP Nov 4th and continuung for the next 4-8 years...Go­d willing.

[grata2ude]

Republicans are now scurrying for the video of Eric Cantor stomping on a cockroach and cleaning it up with less expensive tissues.

[KLordsha]

lol Mitch McConnell was seen slapping a mosquito then fiscally conservatively eating it...

[motherforpeace]

Hahahahaha! Thank you for the laugh.

[justmeinAz]

President sits down with CNBC to talk seriously about the economy, and the only clip that makes the cut is this one. I hope he didn't have anything important to say, because we sure won't find out here. Our news is in such bad shape.

[barackobama4prez]

Very True. I saw most of this last night. But go to youtube, whitehouse.org or c-span for the details...­.

[grata2ude]

Republicans are now scurrying to show Eric Cantor squishing a cockroach and using less expensive tissues to clean it up.

[KLordsha]

Heard on Fixed: "There are some who say that the President's vi olent reaction was a response to our recent Rasmussen Poll......­.....Mr. Rasmussen?"

[ebanks84]

This slip shows his sense of concentration and how he can accurately hone in on a subject to it's final solution. Great! And so telling!

[ebanks84]

Correction: "This clip shows.....­"

[discourse jockey]

Why do you hate slips? :-P

[grata2ude]

I agree. But I thanked God silently he didn't flip it with his tongue. This would give the Birthers movement some life.

[Decipherer]

Wrong species, Slick.

The only ones in Washington who can pull that tongue-flicking at insects are those equipped only with lizard brains, and that would be the members of the GOP ("gaggle of pi$$ants).

[EdWhite1]

Quick, where are the protests from the other side characterizing him as inhumane and a hater of wildlife?
Now who says Obama wont act decisively and use deadly force to protect the country hmmm?
Funniest clip evar.

[Stronger1]

Laughed out loud!
I hear they're organizing a pro-life for flies movement as we speak.....

[discourse jockey]

And rightly so... if that wasn't a clearcut case of liberal violence, I don't know what is. Ok, Obama is not a liberal and didn't seem as aggressive as RushO'Reil­lyHannityC­oulterMalk­inetc when they say "welcome" -- but still.

[SFA]

Never laughed so much......­........

:-)))

[TheImpaler]

I wish the President would show the same decisiveness in pushing some progressive addenda.

[montecarlo408]

Elect a progressive President candidate and you'll get a push for progressive agenda.

[discourse jockey]

True that. Obama is no Dennis Kucinich.

[TheImpaler]

I suppose we'll see how popular he is going to get if he doesn't.
