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.

As in, shave off every piece of hair on his head -- and when the President tells you do to something, you do it.

President Barack Obama may not be a "hockey mom" but he has got the wild parent on the sidelines thing down pat.
Prez Obama let his guard down as he cheered like crazy for his daughters Malia and Sasha -- who were playing soccer today in D.C.
How's that for pressure for the opposing team?

Barack Obama is the president of the United States. Finally.
After flubbing his oath during yesterday's inauguration -- thanks, Chief Justice John Roberts -- Obama retook the oath this afternoon at the White House. White House counsel Greg Craig said Obama took the oath from Roberts again out of an "abundance of caution."
In Barack's defense, people retake the SATs all the time!

So the oath didn't go particularly well, and here's why. Chief Justice John Roberts screwed up the second line and it seems that threw Obama off track.
The oath, found in Article II Section I of the Constitution, reads, I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States....
The Chief asked Obama to repeat these words, "...that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully...." It's "of" the United States and the word "faithfully" should have come before the word "execute."
After that, Obama blanked. Could this be a conservative conspiracy?
Stay tuned!
