Barack Obama provides landing pad for fly (Pics and Videos -- Get Your Barf Bag)
The Telegraph ^ | 1-24-2013 | Raf Sanchez,

Subtitle: Not even the Secret Service could keep the fly away from Barack Obama's furrowed brow.

The buzzing insect stole the show as the President announced his two new members of his second administration, cutting wild loops around the leader of the free world before landing squarely on his forehead.

The official White House transcript simply reads: "This guy is bothering me here - (swatting at a fly.)"

Meanwhile, the pool report which describes the President's movements throughout the day, noted that "the president spoke for about five minutes while being menaced by a house fly".

It wasn't the first time Mr Obama has shared camera time with a fly. In June 2009, the newly-elected president dealt some tough justice to one which interrupted an interview.

Well, if it looks like “it”, smells like “it”, and tastes like “it”, it must be “it.”

I watch the live trials on TV and have heard many medical examiners and entomologists give their reports.

According to them, flies play an important role in the decomposition of a corpse. They do all kinds of testing on dead bodies at the Tennessee Body Farm to study the decomposition process.

A fly can detect a dead body in 13 seconds. They are drawn to it by the odor. The LOVE the smell of putrid, rotting flesh.

Just sayin’.

Well, there's certainly a great deal of blood on his hands.

>I’ve seen hundreds of pictures of people in Africa with flies all over their faces. Now i’m just waiting to see him eat one then I will know for sure that he is from Africa.<

The place is a hot, smelly, filthy poop-hole...there are TRILLIONS of flies in Africa so I’m not surprised when I see pics showing them on faces.

But he’s in the spotless White House, in the winter.

I believe he’s been given over to a reprobate mind...as stated in Romans 1:28.

I am also reminded of the interview he gave where he was harrassed by a housefly and swatted or grabbed it with “ cat-like reflexes” or some such crap, as the fawning media described it.

Beelzebub, indeed.

Rotting stench is particularly attractive to flies. I used to milk cows in the evening for a dairy that was down the road and never once out of the thousands of flies in the milk barn in July had a fly land on my face for more than a fraction of a second. The cows and all the cowshit were much more attractive.

Why does this buzzing fly remind me of the transformed Prince Guidon in Pushkin’s fairy tale of the Tsar Saltan?

Amorphophallus titanum, the corpse flower:

“Another common name for the plant is carrion flower, thanks to its distinctive aroma and the way it attracts carrion-eating beetles and flesh flies, which are instrumental for the plant’s pollination.”

The only thing I can figure out is he must have a unique odor that draws flies.

That "girlfriend" whom he wrote those ridiculous letter so said he and his room smelled. Maybe that's the first truth we've heard about his past.

I believe God sent the fly in the face as a verb (not a noun) and intended a deeper symbolic meaning to those who can see it in regards to the Constitution.


Verb, 1. fly in the face of - go against; "This action flies in the face of the agreement". fly in the teeth of · go against, violate, break - fail to agree with; be in violation ...
