Obama gets bugged
politico ^ | 1/24/13 | DONOVAN SLACK

Posted on 01/24/2013 3:03:40 PM PST by ColdOne

Handlers go to great lengths to manage the settings President Obama appears in, from lighting to yes, even insect repelling. For example, they doused a Camp David podium with bug spray last year before a G-8 announcement.

But there have been moments, several in fact, when insects have bedeviled their best efforts.

Just curious, how many presidents in the last 160 years of the US have has EVEN one fly resting on his face picture, must less TWO!
It would appear the Entertainment-industrial complex has been covering up this fly on presidents “complex” for the 16 decades until ob-amass became president.

Flies are commonly seen around people possessed by demons.

“Beelzebub, literally “Lord of the Flies”; is a Semitic deity that was worshiped in the Philistine city of Ekron. In later Christian and Biblical sources, he is referred to as another name for Satan,[2] and in demonology, is one of the seven princes of Hell.”

One would think that, with the huge Dumbo ears, he would simply bat the flies away?

He should stop wearing that fancy French cologne that Moochelle bought for him so he would be more masculine.

He would but he's afraid they will find the boogers he hides in there.

Remember the fly that kept circling his head and the famous picture of it sitting on his lip? (and it didn’t bother him at all!)

Remember during an interview a fly kept buzzing around Obama and he killed it with his bare hand and just kept on talking? (gag)

Remember the rat that kept running in front of him at the podium, bee swarms and racoons invading the White House grounds?

WTH is going on here? This does not happen with other presidents.

The media has been all over this non-story today. Now that the re-election of BO is over, they are trying to regain a shred of credibility, which they pretty much all lost during the last few years, with a significant portion of the country. This must be their idea of “hey look, we’re fair and balanced.”
