OBAMA THE FLY SWATTER

I for one was flabbergasted when I saw our President kill a fly on his arm, brush it onto the floor and call it a "little sucker" while the camera went close up on the dead fly, lying legs- up on the presidential rug. And my feeling had nothing to do with PETA, nor do they now. I just thought it was distasteful, very unpresidential, and unnecessary. I think it would have been much more dignified and tasteful to simply shoo the fly away and make a joke of it. Especially since they had joked good naturedly about the fly prior to it's sudden demise. It just didn't come off as "good" in any fashion, I think that killing living things on television is inappropriate in any case, especially when the killing is being done by the President of the United States. Sets a bad example. Especially these days when abuse and the inappropriate treatment of animals and children is rampant.
