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.

Forget it Biff. These tools don't understand what a joke is. They don't even understand the story is a joke. Positively pathetic.

51. Oh please. This is someone who just wants her name in the news. And if he had not killed the fly, the headlines would be something like, "Obama is so weak, he cannot even kill a fly!"

This story is just laughable.

52. I am all for animal rights, but this story is not news worthy and i do not think a fly is considered a animal. Considering it comes from Larve

53. If a PETA member is driving down the road and a bug hits their windshield do they pull over and try to do mouth to mouth with the insect?

54. Check out #14's comment. The President of PETA has spoken, now go away loser (insert picture of me pointing at #14 and laughing)

You are a serious idiot. Your parents must be so proud. How embarrassing to have the IQ of a fly.....

57. This just shows, again, what a bunch of loons that are in PETA.

58. Seriously, is that the best PETA do to get noticed?

59. The BO has to do it because so many flies buzzing around his hooker ole lady fat black flabby ass.

Since you all think it is just fine to kill bugs, your cockroaches and should be stepped on.

60. This just proves that PETA is a totally rediculous organization! A fly? Flies only live for what 24 hours or so anyway! PETA you folks need to eat some protein. Go out and have a good old steak and leave everyone else alone.
