Throughout President Obama’s five-month term in office, he has shouldered the burdens of exponential growth in the national deficit, plummeting housing costs, skyrocketing unemployment rates, both new and old crises overseas beyond his personal experience, town hall meetings defending his stance on a disorganized government-regulated healthcare plan, and–the latest dilemma to hit the White House–housefly infestations.

Already a YouTube sensation, President Obama takes the ‘surprise-attack’ approach on a fly amidst discussion during a CNBC interview with John Harwood. The accused intruding fly allegedly made a pass at the President’s head sending out and alarming buzzing klaxon hazardous and annoying to the President’s over-sized ears before being shooed away by the President himself. The fly circled the President before opening landing gear on his hand. Silently, but quickly, the President applied countermeasures using his opposite hand and executed the fly. In the violent shaking of his hand, the carcass was swept off onto the floor of the White House.

CNBC’s cameraman suavely got a shot of the trespasser–a common housefly. Staff members have pointed fingers at unscreened windows and open vents near nests on the property. Staff members have been equipped with fly swatters and in attempt to get more bang for the buck, newspapers, briefing papers, and confidential documents can double as exterminating equipment.

Although the news states that the White House infestation is due to natural causes- Let’s say the flies were a part of a covert attempt to steal American secrets. Flies on the wall–it’s the oldest trick in the book. Bug them with a/v monitoring equipment and you now have access to confidential American conversations, Michelle’s private practice turns on the catwalk, and story-time with Sasha and Malia. Or even worse, what if the flies carry smallpox–or swine flu?

Like Mulder himself, I too, can find conspiracy in a church picnic.

The White House has put up a sign designating it a fly-restricted zone.

What excites me the most is that such merciless actions were enough to peak the interest of the activist group, PETA, and they have since issued a statement against the lord of the flies:

“He isn’t the Buddha, he’s a human being and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.”
