Obama condemned by PETA after fly swatting

PETA have criticised US President Barack Obama for his brutal murdering of a fly

The spotlight-loving animal rights activists have branded the President as "inhumane" after he performed a grievous act of violence on the insect.

The assault was performed during an interview with CNBC's John Harwood, where Obama can clearly be seen taking a swipe, exclaiming "Quit flying up in ma face, yo", with the fly dropping to the ground moments later. Obama then went on to boast "Take that sucka!" before continuing with the interview as if nothing had happened.

The swipe itself was described by onlookers as "something between a karate chop and a full on pimp slap". Vice President Joe Biden went on to say the action was "wickedy wickedy fly, yo", before putting a baseball cap on backwards, sauntering up to the President and offering some "big up respec'" for his lightning-fast strike.

However, it appears PETA have taken offence at Obama's inhumane and reckless actions, even going as far to say that the President's fly swatting was "borderline psychopathic". Spokesman Bruce Freidrich protested against the swat, claiming that "flies are people too, and they should be treated with just as much respect as another human being" and that Obama's actions "would only further encourage abuse towards insects.".

Freidrich then went on to say that Obama would be forgiven by the organisation if he laid a dookie on the steps of the White House and "allowed nearby flies to feast upon it without threat of violence", although White House security deemed the chances of this happening were "unlikely", due to the high probability of someone attempting to steal the faeces and sell it on eBay.
