WASHINGTON (AP) — The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

"Now, where were we--" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it-- I got the sucker."

Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.

Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."

Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.

I think this is one we can all agree on (except FJ, he is torn on this issue between his hatred for PETA and his hatred of the President.)

These freakin' PETA people need to find something constructive to do with their lives.

This thread was too dumb to comment but you forced me into it

You're torn over your hatred for this country
and your hatred of your self.

Now, back to your PETT meet-up

The Democrats have become dominated by their liberal, activist, angry statist wing. So for all intents and purposes, liberal = Democrat.

Election results from 2006 through the present do not support your theory.

As of right now, Democrats have the majority of moderates and independents on their side. That's why they keep winning elections.
