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.

Only the Antichrist could kill a fly like that.

Barack “Superfly” obama
The BIG ONE
William Amos on June 16, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Okay I’m just going to come out and say it
I can’t take it anymore
every time I look at your name (and I know what it is, battle of panto)
I keep seeing battle of POTATO!
It’s been killing me!
blatantblue on June 16, 2009 at 7:38 PM
yep, this is up there with Jimmy Carter killing that rogue swimming rabbit while paddling a canoe some years ago.
Where are the protests? Where is PETA?
I suggest Obama start a new organization: JEDI – Jubilantly Eradicating Defenseless Insects.
If all was right with the world, the press coverage would say, “Obama kills creature during interview, soils White House carpet.”
Captain Scarlet on June 16, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Waah,waah ,Fox doesn’t like me waah, waah, mommy….

Obama if the burden of the debt you inherited is so great why don’t you quit.

It’s not just lizard “like,” if you know what I mean. He is one of them.

HAHA now he’s the freaking Karate Kid. The morning news shows will play this video over and over due to it’s “historic” nature.

blatantblue on June 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
You’d think that Obama went to one of those really repressive Christian Fundamentalist schools, where there’s not much room for debate/criticism… Oh wait…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Is it just me or is this guy ever working? Either he’s vacationing somewhere in the World,out for burgers, town halls across the States, and almost nightly interviews with every station(except Fox) of course.It’s come to the point that I can’t even stand to see his face let alone his voice. Is this his new enhanced interrogations?
sandee on June 16, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Well after THIS demonstration,we might need to worry about IRAQ, NK, terrorists, etc., but we’re safe from flies.
Jeff from WI on June 16, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Heard he polishes TOTUS…
Upstater85 on June 16, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Yes indeed he did! The whole Obama going on Dora the Explorer, Lifetime, Oxygen, Chill and History Channel deal was funny until I realized; IT WAS TRUE! He would do it!
freeus on June 16, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Somewhere Robert Gates curses…”DAMMIT!!…$5million bionic fly and ‘boy genius’ smacks it flat on national TV! Will someone please tell him to READ his intelligence briefings!!!”

Elektra on June 16, 2009 at 7:50 PM
What is it about Fox News that just works and works at liberals? It is probably the same thing about Sarah Palin that drives them nuts.
Mallard T. Drake on June 16, 2009 at 7:50 PM
I was going to restrain myself, but my first thought was that he had to kill it to keep someone else (hint, hint) from charging in and snatching that fly out of mid-air like a big ol’ frog.
califcon on June 16, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Not true. They’re just not camped out up your ass like the others.
ddrintn on June 16, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Wow!…Duuude!..Just when you think he couldn’t do anything dumber, he goes any….totally redeems himself with that fly thing.
I feel foolish for ever doubting him.
Itchee Dryback on June 16, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Where’s the fly swatter?
Annietxgrl on June 16, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Yeah. you know. Van susteren, that Sarah Palin stalker. There’s no one in the media who cheerleaders more for a politician than Susteren is doing for Palin. Sorry, no one on MSNBC comes close to Susteren’s Palin worship.
Lizza on June 16, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Who cares? Are they supposed to have a “guest ratio”? Stick to MSNBC and your Olby loop.
ddrintn on June 16, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I don’t know but it’s fun isn’t it?
Cindy Munford on June 16, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Seriously, wasn’t this a scene from ‘The Addams Family’…I’m not sure if it was Gomez or Uncle Fester who did this…did Obama eat the fly after he killed it? If not, why not?
AUINSC on June 16, 2009 at 7:55 PM
He complains about Fox network.
He has criticized by name Dobbs, Limbaugh, Cramer, Santelli, and Hannity.
He set his minions on Kurtz during the election.
He has (his attorneys have) argued to the Supreme Court that books can be suppressed during elections.
He disparages citizens protesting against him.
If you were an autocrat in Iran, why would you think this is the guy that’s going to tell you to allow protests and a free, contentious press?
MayBee on June 16, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Couple that with the Illinois State Lottery number coming up 666 the day after the election and he may have some explaining to do..
Don’t believe me about the Illinois state Lottery number?
Here you go.. Evening pick 3

You know, when you write things like that it makes you sound like you have a mental illness, right?
myrenovations on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
You’ve GOT to be kidding. ROFL…Matthews and Olbermann?
Nah, van Susteren doesn’t rip on Palin’s kids or buy the moonbat memes about Palin wholesale, so she’s a “worshiper”.
ddrintn on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Well, he’s also a damn ninja apparently.
Good job by the reporter to “build rapport” by working the fly into the proceedings. That is one fine network.
landshark on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Obama is dumb to single out Fox…now that so many people are sick to death of him, they will flock to Fox just to get away from the nauseating sycophantic coverage of him on the other networks…I predict this will be yet another ratings boost for Fox.
Does anyone else automatically switch the channel when he comes on?
CCRWM on June 16, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Fox News allows the other side to give their viewpoint…they just have to defend it.
MSDNC usually doesnt even allow the other side to get a word in.
“We cannot spare this woman…she fights. The liberals FEAR her…you can smell the fear.”

And after the interview, Obama claimed to have killed seven with one blow…
Terry_Dyne on June 16, 2009 at 7:59 PM
I don’t even watch news anymore, for that very reason. And I keep wondering who on earth is watching all these weekly screeds he issues . . . certainly not those idiots who elected him. I’m guessing pretty much nobody.
califcon on June 16, 2009 at 7:59 PM

Flys with….

BillaryMcBush on June 16, 2009 at 8:00 PM
God, the MSM just said the the fly killing was Obama’s “Make my day” moment. Hotair needs barf bags.
portlandon on June 16, 2009 at 8:00 PM
The man’s so out of his depth he might as well be wearing a diving suit. It’s embarrassing.
madne0 on June 16, 2009 at 8:00 PM
The fly swatting clip was pretty darn funny. However, this pisses me off to no extent
“I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,”
He has to be the most egotistical man I have ever seen. He finds it surprising that every time he gives a policy speech he becomes the subject of attention on Fox News. And he’s also surprised that a mostly conservative network might have a problem with his socialization plans, oh like health care for example or hiring a guy who knows nothing about cars to run a car company or installing a pay czar or saying that you’re going to take over ANY BUSINESS that YOU CONSIDER a THREAT to the economy.
Yea. No one on earth would have ANY PROBLEM with that… except Fox News. And they’re only doing it to destroy you and hurt your feelings.
You- little—- over dramatic pansy!!

THIS IS AS BAD AS PALIN SHOOTING WOLVES FROM THE HELICOPTER!!!

yep ole Tingle Leg Matthews, Evan “He’s GOD!” Thomas…the montage of “community organizing is what Jesus would do!” crap we heard last year.
Annietxgrl on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Let’s play a game, Lizza.
Name me one, just one conservative that’s been on either Maddow, Olberman or Matthews in the last 6 months.
BacaDog on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
I think he was referring to the History Channel. They’ve shown plenty of documentaries about where this idiot is taking us.
Ronnie on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
I’ve done that since last July, by which time sycophantic Obama coverage had reached saturation point.
ddrintn on June 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Why doesn’t the RNC put on a big televised rock show with conservative rockers on the same day Obama does his ABC White House infomercial/propaganda BS. That and boycot the whole day…..
Rovin on June 16, 2009 at 8:02 PM
FIFY, ya freakin’ whiny narcissistic fascist.
califcon on June 16, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Easier to take on a fly than to take on the mullahs.
ddrintn on June 16, 2009 at 8:03 PM
she won’t play. i invited her before…
homesickamerican on June 16, 2009 at 8:05 PM
did he wash his hands after he smacked that fly? EWWWWW

Operation Blame Bush = Complete
Operation Blame Fox = In Progress
Operation Blame Americans = In Cue

I guess Obama doesn’t watch Geraldo, Shep Smith or O’Reilly.
VaGal on June 16, 2009 at 8:08 PM
The new name for Obama is Crybaby.Sorry to all the fans of the movie of the same name but this blame game of Obama is getting old fast.Mr.Obama you are Pres.grow up walk and act like a man if you can.
thmcbb on June 16, 2009 at 8:13 PM
That cocky SOB preselects the questions and reporters that he will address at news conferences. He heads to “town halls” filled with people who elected him in very thinly veiled continuous campaigning. He usurps television time to blather empty platitudes. He has not been asked hard-hitting questions by reporters, and his questionable assertions in speeches have not been exposed for their falseness.
Obama has been coddled by a media that does not understand its purpose in holding its elected officials accountable. Instead, he has been given a megaphone to promote policies that will bankrupt our nation.
Obama does not fare well under honest scrutiny. His brushing off of flies conveys his attitude toward the people he is supposed to serve.
onlineanalyst on June 16, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Aren’t flies a symbol of imminent evil? CREEPY – this lone suicide fly was trying to WARN US……
Ris4victory on June 16, 2009 at 8:14 PM
My guess is, that’s his plan, or at least his fantasy, on what to do with any of us who oppose him….the means to do it are falling into place.
bikermailman on June 16, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Now you know why W used sani whipes after shaking hands with him.

Geezer on June 16, 2009 at 8:20 PM
I wonder how much they will sell the fly for on ebay.
I used to catch flies like that out of the air and let them go outside. Too bad that fly wasn’t Muslim, Obama would have let him live.
ThackerAgency on June 16, 2009 at 8:20 PM

LET’S BE HONEST FOR ONCE IN OUR LIVES….
Obama did not kill that fly.
He saved or created trillions of other flies.

The most effeminate president…evah.
BuckeyeSam on June 16, 2009 at 8:33 PM
So true. They are not only unconcerned, but any question about what this guy is doing to our country elicits another screeching round of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
califcon on June 16, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Bravo, Fox! HUGE compliment to FNC to be pointed out by the President himself as the ONLY network attempting to keep the government accountable to the people.
(BTW, was I the only one wishing someone would bring O a wet wipe?! Ewww!)
aero on June 16, 2009 at 8:43 PM
LOL! I can’t disprove it, so it must be true.

Gibbs did after he wiped BO’s a–.
txag92 on June 16, 2009 at 8:45 PM
Okay, I have ignored you balderdash because others here were totally hammering you head. But this claim about Greta is a complete falsehood. Just last night she called out a moron in the GOP, who in a party capacity, suggested Michelle Obama looks a gorilla. If I had to guess, Greta does not like misogyny in any form, against anyone. And she looked pure giddy during her interview in Egypt with Hillary!
I do not agree with Greta all the time, but I have tremendous respect for her because she took a risk in many ways during the campaign for shaming the MSLSD types when it came to exercising real journalism. YOU are toilet paper lint compared to Greta’s intelligence and journalism skills.
Perhaps because you have not only been drinking the Kool-Aid, but straight lining it, perhaps that is why you make such obnoxious, idiotic statements.
A word of advice, REFRAIN!
