Obama’s Air Strike

An arti­cle in today’s Boston Globe described an intense stand­off between Pres­i­dent Obama and a house­fly that thought it could be a whitehousefly…

Dur­ing a White House tele­vi­sion inter­view with CNBC’s John Har­wood, the pres­i­dent tried shoo­ing the fly away, say­ing, “Hey! Get out of here.”

Har­wood offered, “That’s the most per­sis­tent fly I’ve ever seen.”

Obama paused for a moment, seem­ing to study the fly’s flight path, and then he sud­denly slapped his right hand down on his left. The fly had bugged its last com­man­der in chief.

“Nice!” Har­wood said to the sounds of a few claps in the back­ground.

The look of con­cen­tra­tion is price­less. Also, I think that fly took up about $1,000 of pres­i­den­tial time.

    I fig­ure there’s ~$1 trillion/year dif­fer­ence in the wel­fare of the USA under a good pres­i­dent ver­sus a bad one. On that basis, the fly cost the coun­try ~$1 million.

    On the other hand, Rea­gan would say that gov­ern­ment is the prob­lem not the solu­tion, in which case the fly saved the coun­try ~$1 mil­lion. A mar­tyr for the cause of small gov­ern­ment, right? :-)
