Oh That Obama [Swoon]

A reader sends this:

<<< Fly bugs Obama, so he coolly smacks it

This is a story currently on the main page of cnn.com. This is amusing on so many different levels. First, is it newsworthy that the President was annoyed by a common insect? What's next, "Obama displeased that his cereal is soggy?" Maybe I shouldn't joke about that.

Second, Obama didn't just smack the fly, he "coolly" smacked it. Gosh darn it, everything that guy does is cool! Beneath the video (Yes! There's video! Gotta see that!), it points out that he "kills the fly with one swat." Because, you know, only spastic fools take two swats to kill a fly.

Third, those CNN folks are mighty easily impressed. The cameraman even felt the need to zoom in on the offender's corpse. Wow! He really killed it! Message: Don't mess with the O-Man. >>>
