PETA Swats at Obama for Killing That Fly!

Posted Jun 17th 2009 11:03AM by TMZ Staff

PETA is finally going after President Barack Obama for delivering capital punishment to a housefly on the White House grounds yesterday -- a death that was caught on tape.



When asked for comment, here's the statement PETA released:

"He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."

We're told the fly's carcass has been moved to a secret location ... we're guessing the bottom of a White House trash can.

33. With the ongoing abuse against animals in this country, this is the story PETA wishes to involve themselves in? They should be using their skill, knowledge and energy to go after the real criminals, not some guy who hits a bug!
SWAT! That smack is for you PETA! Shame on you.

38. Does PETA realize that a Fly is not an animal it is an insect. Which spreads all kinds of diseases all over the world. I would say the President saved a lot of lives by slamming that bug. Besides I never saw a commercial for mistreated insects, am I going to start seeing them now.

44. Patty is your typical middle age if not older "conversative white woman" who mad not because of the fly but because your president is darker then you. Dont try to use the fly as your excuse for not supoorting a president thaat is actually doing something for you.
