- 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.

Ah very gooid grasshopper! But knowing how to play your pipe for the retarded children, while we ants stock our hills, and you spend away your days, won’t help you, or your enthralled juvenilews, when the chill winds begin to blow.
Where was the Secret Service to wrestle the fly to the ground? Are they standing down in hope something eventually gets past them?
They should decal artwork of one dead fly under the cockpit of Air Force One. Maybe he can make ace by the end of his term.
The Zero fly smack down reminds me of the Gay Weatherman Video. Sorry, I have no link.
No, capitalism.
I guess they can’t handle the truth.
Fly on the Wall. Based on Rep. Tom DeLay’s (Texas) behavior at a closed-door GOP leadership meeting, one thing is clear: You can take the man out of the extermination business, but you can’t take the exterminator out of the man.
DeLay watched in amusement as an enormous and annoying fly terrorized senior lawmakers and staffers for nearly 45 minutes at a super-serious meeting about Iraq in Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (R-Ill.) office.
The fly then landed on Rep. Tom Davis (Va.), who tried in vain to swat the insect. Then the fly decided to dive-bomb into the food, followed by a full landing on another lawmaker’s arm. Then the miscreant made the grave mistake of landing on the table between Hastert and DeLay, who seemed to feel a rush of nostalgia.
DeLay “got this look,” said one eyewitness. “His eyes kind of squinted. Then he reached slowly, slowly and caught the fly in mid-air.”
Then DeLay showed his colleagues a thing or two. “He stood up and flung the fly against the fireplace,” said the source. “It falls to the ground and wham — he stomps all over it.”
When the meeting broke up, DeLay was heard mumbling on his way out the door, “The Democrats are next.”

In it, Mickey kills seven flies with a single swat of the flyswat, and his reputation grows as someone to fear. Those who hear the story aren't aware that it's only flies he killed, not his enemies.
Notice how he gets distracted, but tells someone off camera, where he’s going to start over....reading the teleprompter.....so they can set it to where he left off...
What a putz. This guy truly is the POSOTUS. Puppet!
7 flies at once is above Obama’s paygrade.
Just lost the Jain vote too.
And the sycophants go, “Oooooooh....”
Poor fly! It was only doing what is in it’s nature—circling a steaming pile of crap.
