The Swamp

by Mark Silva

It takes a certain willing suspension of political correctness for a president to kill a fly in the middle of a nationally televised interview and gloat about the kill on the carpet.

"Got the sucker,'' Obama exclaimed.

And it takes a certain willing suspension of correctness to watch this take on the swatting of the week at the White House.

With apologies to Coleridge, President Barack Obama, CNBC's John Harwood and to ninjas everywhere, we utter a collective "Thank God It's Friday" with this Barely Political review of the No Fly Zone in the East Room of the White House.

Have a great weekend.

Awesome!


At least the fly found peace on Twitter! http://twitter.com/aflyobamakilled


Bush would have let the fly get away, like he did bin Laden.


Re; Paul's comment.
I suggest you read a book titled "Dereliction of Duty". It was written
be a Lt.Colonel assigned to the Clinton
White House. Then you will learn who really let Bin Land get away.
