A pesky Musca domestica (per pooler Brian Beutler of Talking Points Memo) landed on the president's face during a press conference Thursday to announce his picks to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Obama swatted at the fly a couple of times, and the official White House transcript records, "This guy is bothering me here—(swatting at a fly.)"

The fly looks like a third eye. Very weird.

It's the all-seeing eye of Oflyrus.

Was he in DC when this pic was taken?

It’s the middle of winter. One would be hard pressed to find a fly anywhere near DC this time of year. Really is kind of creepy now that I think about it.

If that's the case, this fly traded down.

They must be White House flies. They hitched a ride from Chicago.

If the fly is still alive, I would call it a win for the fly.

So, a great novel would go along the lines that the fly was really a disguised drone that delivered a lethal dose of a bilogical agent. Happy endings!

I hereby volunteer to go to Obama’s press conferences with a fly swatter and swat any flies that land on his face.

I will be glad to do it no charge.
