- see the video - The president proved yesterday he will not tolerate distractions from his hefty political agenda -- at least not those coming from pesky insects.
President Obama addressed issues ranging from health care to financial industry reform in a lengthy interview on CNBC on Tuesday, but he was interrupted by a fly persistently buzzing around his head.
"Hey! Get out of here," Mr. Obama said.
After a few irritated swats, the president zeroed in on the pest and patiently waited for it to land on his hand. He gave it a quick smack and watched it fall to the floor.
"That was pretty impressive, wasn't it?" Mr. Obama said. "I got the sucker."
Watch the moment below.

O undertook the fly removal too. What a stud.
If’n O was a hybrid alien, a reptilian say.. that fly never had a chance, much like this nation... buzzing around toward mediocrity.

This is probably about the only crisis he is capable of successfully dealing with.
Hillary would have snatched it out of mid-air flight with her tongue.
