WASHINGTON, May 21 (UPI) -- A rodent -- type and origin unknown -- eluded capture after invading U.S. President Barack Obama's speaking space in the Rose Garden.

Obama was commenting on the Senate's passage of financial reform legislation Thursday when the varmint burst through the shrubbery, scurried in front of the presidential podium, then disappeared in some bushes, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

Witnesses said the rodent began its run from the right and exited on the left.

The critter's political views were not known.

You can take the Obama’s out of the ghetto, but you can't the ghetto out of the O’s....

Don’t forget that fly that landed on him and he made that evil face while he swatted it. I think this might have happened during the campaign. Not sure.

Too bad the little rat didn’t run up Bammy’s leg, bite him, and give him the Black Plague.

First a plague of bees, and now rats. This must be a sign that the False Prophet of False Hope is Beelzebub himself.

Nope, just the Animal Conspiracy against Man. Ask Tim Bedore.

Rats always run from the right to the left.
