PETA Chastises President Obama

YOU. HAVE. GOT. TO. BE. KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it weren’t for the photog’s PETA puts out (which come after this ludicrous story) I am pretty sure I would absolutely, unequivocably HATE this organization….

WASHINGTONThe group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he’s bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

“We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama’s conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

“Get out of here,” the president told the pesky insect. When it didn’t, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

“Now, where were we?” Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: “That was pretty impressive, wasn’t it? I got the sucker.”

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.

    PETA is a ridiculous parody of their own stupidity. I’m all for animal hugs, or whatever it is that they want, but honestly how much time did you spend crafting a press release for a fly swatting.

    Go masturbate to a monkey, or whatever you hippies do, but don’t waste my time except to create more ads of hot women wearing fruit.
