Video: Obama whines about Fox News, kills fly

In which The One celebrates getting his very own health-care infomercial in primetime on broadcast TV by arguing that Fox News’s criticism proves the media isn’t biased in his favor. “I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” he says, neglecting to mention that he’s also got one entirely devoted to praising it and a bunch of others perpetually softballing him in the guise of objectivity.
The Fox News whinge happened in the same interview as his Jedi-like fly-swat but they’re in two separate clips. I’m posting the more substantive of the two below. You can watch the other here.

NBC may have to change its motto to the Peac*cksucker Network.

rotten things do attract flies
Ris4victory on June 16, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Just about as impressive as anything else you’ve ever done.
BigWyo on June 16, 2009 at 7:03 PM
This guy cannot utter one sentence without using the word “I” or “me”… and oh, yeah, his skin is extremely thin.
yogi41 on June 16, 2009 at 7:03 PM
He really is a spineless effete twit isn’t he? Good grief!

help us, (insert favorite conservative name here). you’re our only hope.
homesickamerican on June 16, 2009 at 7:04 PM
LOL, what a narcissistic tool. Good freaking grief.
Midas on June 16, 2009 at 7:04 PM
MURDER!!! What did that fly ever to do you. I’m calling PETA.
Lance Murdock on June 16, 2009 at 7:05 PM
Breaking News? God I hope that was supposed to be a joke.
vcferlita on June 16, 2009 at 7:05 PM
Wow. Creepy. Fox News swatting and Fly swatting all in one interview.
FerfeLaBat on June 16, 2009 at 7:06 PM
tougher on the fly then the killers in Iran.
rob verdi on June 16, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Without chopsticks? Mr. Maigi would be proud.
portlandon on June 16, 2009 at 7:06 PM
I just don’t get liberals
They have EVERY news outlet print or tv
We have fox and daytime am radio
But that’s too much for the left
Thy have to silence ALL dissent
battleoflepanto1571 on June 16, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Fox news is the only form of cable news information that is not in the complete tank for bho. They give both views and they gotta go. If any news outlet is not 100% in the tank for bho, well you are under the bus. Thank God for HA, MM, Sarah, Rush, Hannity, Laura, the list goes on and on. Please Fox hang firm.

letget on June 16, 2009 at 7:07 PM
Authoritarians cannot tolerate opposition. He cannot bring himself to condemn his kindred spirits in Iran, and he cannot tolerate the fact that there’s ONE news channel on TV that tells the truth about him.
Simple.
Akzed on June 16, 2009 at 7:07 PM
So then he confess that all other media is in his hand.
the_nile on June 16, 2009 at 7:08 PM
Oh GET OVER IT
You have four networks all trying to give you some oral
And you’re whining about Fox News
blatantblue on June 16, 2009 at 7:08 PM
I happen to be married to a fly, and i’m mortally offended that The One killed one of my spouse’s flymates during that interview.
We’re Here, We’re Flys, and We’re In Your Face!
DrW on June 16, 2009 at 7:08 PM
it wasn’t really a fly. It was a cia micro-drone complete w/camera and tiny missles.
Darvin Dowdy on June 16, 2009 at 7:08 PM
Breaking: Sen. John Ensign just admitted to having an affair.
amerpundit on June 16, 2009 at 7:09 PM
He’s totally going to lose the Jainists with that fly thing.
myrenovations on June 16, 2009 at 7:09 PM
Just one time…The next time he’s blathering on about his ‘Inherited’ deficit…Would some one please ask his something like ‘Mr. President, I assume you are referring to the TARP legislation that was passed last fall. Could you please tell me how you voted on that???’
BigWyo on June 16, 2009 at 7:10 PM
He’s so cool!!!

nickj116 on June 16, 2009 at 7:10 PM
Somebody actually slept with John Ensign?

He’s harder to watch than the Iranian student that was
murdered.
Sickening

My President is a creep.
AUINSC on June 16, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Boo-frickin-hoo. One news outlet actually questions what he’s doing. Ask Bush about getting attacked by the media the last 8 years and then he can complain. What an arrogant jerk.
BakerAllie on June 16, 2009 at 7:11 PM
I’m sure Ensign loved taking this pic:

blatantblue on June 16, 2009 at 7:13 PM
I expected him to use his tongue to get that tasty fly.
noworldcitizen on June 16, 2009 at 7:14 PM
OMG the poor fly- what did he ever do to Obama. Where are the “insects have rights too” people?
Frances on June 16, 2009 at 7:14 PM
If he gets his way with S. 909, the “Hate Crimes” bill…
Akzed on June 16, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Correction: Obama’s more Sith than Jedi. He has his own stormtroopers and everything.
TheQuestion on June 16, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Ensign’s hair alone is enough to scare away most women!
Frances on June 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I consider all that fruitless swatting at the fly to be torture. Prosecute!/sarc
canditaylor68 on June 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Good Lord!!
Break out that Picard Face Palm thingy again….
BigWyo on June 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM
This is totally off topic, but …
I have been reading Allah since he had his own blog…(his boyfriend Ace turned me on to him…back when Ace used to beg Allah, through his blog, to meet him)
anyway, so I was cleaning out my “Favorites” list on my browser and had a link to Allahpundit’s old blog. Check it out. Has it been hijacked?
ramrants on June 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM
ensin had an affair reportedly while separated from his wife. The other women’s husband blackmailed him an he decided to go public instead.
rob verdi on June 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM
If Fox hasn’t said anything positive about the Prez’s action thus far, perhaps it’s because he has not done anything of a positive nature for the country yet.
GFW on June 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I’ve been wondering that for so looooong
blatantblue on June 16, 2009 at 7:16 PM
The Precedent shouldn’t swat at flies. He should have more respect for his intellectual peers.
BTW, I’d vote for the fly to replace The Precedent.
progressoverpeace on June 16, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Iran is developing the bomb, North Korea is about to blow up South Korea and more, we are about to lose our AAA credit rating, our economy is on a massive down hill slide and THIS is what they are wasting time with…BooHooHoo Fox News isn’t sugar coating ME enough…BTW a four year old can kill flies.
wrabbitslayer on June 16, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Slight of hand,smoke and mirrors!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!DISTRACTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
canopfor on June 16, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Wow, two people have actually slept with Ensign.
myrenovations on June 16, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Apparently a four year old can be president.

Why doesn’t King Tut just unveil his throne he has had built in the White House and get it over with………?
Seven Percent Solution on June 16, 2009 at 7:20 PM
“Obama Gives Fox News the Heads Up On His Plan For Its Future”.
Somehow I see zero getting the big time smackdown, doubletime dipped upside down in chit, twice and plowed with a push mower and spit out the side, to the curb next to a pile of doberman droppings… and eaten by the rats at MSNBC. If he even tries it. Which, he won’t.
Heh. I love making fun of fags that swat at flies.
Key West Reader on June 16, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Why do I get such a darn creepy feeling when this One flashes his pearly whites? Ok, rhetorical question.
Annietxgrl on June 16, 2009 at 7:21 PM
This man is so petty. If you just arrived on Earth and someone told you he was the most powerful man on the planet, what would you think? Such a jerk.
Cindy Munford on June 16, 2009 at 7:21 PM
if you want to see allah’s old blog, which i used to read… “religiously”… go here.

“Those mean old Fox News reporters won’t even bow to me.”
/Obama
BakerAllie on June 16, 2009 at 7:23 PM
OOOOOH! The great —– hunter.
He should have that mounted.
TheSitRep on June 16, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Doesn’t this help Fox News?
I mean seriously, if Obama really believes they are out to get him (Nixonian?), then doesn’t this mean that he’s just given them more street cred?
Too bad for Obama, Fox isn’t owned by a Joooo… Then he could really get his anti-Semitic swagga on.
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:23 PM
What a child. He went from his momma’s house to Michelle’s house. And now in the big house, he still hasn’t figured out how to be a man.
sherry on June 16, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Obama attracts flies, my dogs droppings attract flies. Flies KNOW what they like.
Jeff from WI on June 16, 2009 at 7:24 PM
While the Goons in Iran are slaughtering students
like flies,
the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD is swatting flies!
And,where the h#ll is PETA,when the Preident is
liquidating tiny flies!(Sarc).
canopfor on June 16, 2009 at 7:24 PM
I knew pieces of $#!t could draw flies but that’s the first time I’ve seen one swat a fly.
thomasaur on June 16, 2009 at 7:25 PM
What a cry baby. A fly killing cry baby.
Fox is not devoted to attacking him. Shep Smith is madly in love with the guy. They just do not kiss his behind all the damn time. I guess that to Obama, that is the same thing as being attacked.
Terrye on June 16, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Somebody needs to tell Obama to shut up and stop whining. The responsibility is his now and he needs to stop blaming Bush, the Easter Bunny and anything or anybody else that can give him cover. The man is disgusting and embarrassing.
rplat on June 16, 2009 at 7:26 PM
It’s a turd volcano… Its lava swats at the flies…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:26 PM
This guy wants everyone to believe that He is the key to true happiness and Fox News decided not to drink the kool-aid and he wants to whine about it. Bipartisanship to this acre means “MY way, because I WON, or the highway.”
What a real loser!
belad on June 16, 2009 at 7:26 PM
If by Obama reasoning Fox is attacking him, this probably translates to they’ve hired one Capitalist within the last year…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Don’t give them ideas
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:27 PM
LOL. Poor baby. Bush had just about every TV station attacking him and thousands of newspapers and magazines.
Harwood is a real genius.
I’m hard-pressed to find a single positive thing The Precedent has ever done.
The fact is that Fox doesn’t have the guts to really tell the truth about The Precedent. Everyone at Fox still pretends that The Precedent likes the US and is looking to help the nation, except for Hannity and Beck. And Fox doesn’t never discusses how amazingly stupid The Precedent is.
progressoverpeace on June 16, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Wow, the always fair and objective John Harwood doing the interview?
Apparently the oxygen tank is tastefully concealed under his suit.
jjshaka on June 16, 2009 at 7:28 PM
It just proves: there is a God.
Right_of_Attila on June 16, 2009 at 7:28 PM
+1
Palin, Cheney, and Obama should all go hunting… Palin would bag a WOLF, Obama a fly, and Cheney, well…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:29 PM
I never once heard Bush whine about people picking on him. But then again, he was a grown man.
Terrye on June 16, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Flies are attracted to piles of sh*t, and he’s definitely that.
SouthernGent on June 16, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Well,now TIME magazine has a new article to wright,
WARRIOR OF THE CENTURY,
HOW OBAMA WAS BAPTIZED
BY FIRE,ON FLY KILLING!!
(Snark).
canopfor on June 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Nah, I’d think he was Black Freddie Mercury in Armani.
But, that’s just my opinion.
Key West Reader on June 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Cavuto called TOTUS out today. It was priceless.
Fletch54 on June 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
It does beg the question. Can the press really remain in the tank for the guy if the economy remains in the crapper and the rest of world is in turmoil come 2012? How exactly do you postively spin a disaster?
Doughboy on June 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
canopfor: no message. Just thought it was funny. It looks like his old blog was hijacked.
ramrants on June 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
WRONG
I was thinking the specs of sh*t around the base of the pile.
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
MURDERER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ConservativePartyNow on June 16, 2009 at 7:31 PM
That crack about one station entirely devoted to criticism of him is kind of funny. Got to give him a thumbs up for subtle humor on this one.
jeanie on June 16, 2009 at 7:31 PM
I might have the first time… if it had been subtle…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Fox News keeps him up at night. The truth must not be known. Obama cannot have that happen. It will destroy him.
The truth is the hole in the hull of the SS Obama and it is getting bigger. Shortly, his pails will not be enough to bail out the disaster that is this presidency.
Joe Caps on June 16, 2009 at 7:33 PM
LoL, it cracks me up that the typical conservative is actually stupid enough to believe this. If you honestly believe that Neil Cavuto, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Susteren, Beck or anyone else actually have an equal amount of liberals on as conservatives you’re as dumb as a tree stump.
Lizza on June 16, 2009 at 7:33 PM
How are the crack rocks treating you tonight?
blatantblue on June 16, 2009 at 7:34 PM
And if you actually believe he got that fly, I have a brigde in Arizona for sale.

canopfor on June 16, 2009 at 7:35 PM
I’m calling BS. That was a HUGE fly on the floor, looked like a carpenter bee. NO way he smacked that thing without getting flyguts all over his hand.
Ever try to smack a fly like that? How successful were you?
TinMan13 on June 16, 2009 at 7:35 PM
OOOOOOH!!! I’MMA TELLLL!!!!

Key West Reader on June 16, 2009 at 7:35 PM
What’s your point?
bloggless on June 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Should cover the real story ion that interveiw
Obama says unemployment will continue to rise this year
and
I wont have to raise taxes because the economic recovery will be so fantastic the government will have enough funds !
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Yeah… you know… Van Sustern, that neo-con…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:31 PM Okay, okay–it is the first time I’ve heard it. And I have to admit I chuckled!! I’ll try and do better in the future.
jeanie on June 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM
FLY MURDERER!!!11!
He’s worse than Hitler!

Hey Barry, ALL YOUR FLIES ARE BELONG TO US.
bloggless on June 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM
Sure you do, but you just don’t want to believe it. To the Left any Conservative Speech is hate speech so it shouldn’t be allowed.
chemman on June 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM
It wasn’t really a fly; it was a genetically modified Chris Matthews. He just couldn’t keep his distance.
