PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA vs. A FLY

President Barack Obama has done it this time. He swatted and killed a fly that was pestering him during an interview. PETA was outraged and reminded him that flies should be treated with respect, too. Not everyone agrees, of course. So let's pit these two against each other and see who has the better buzz.

VITAL STATS

President Obama: President of the United States, husband, father and leader of the free world.

Fly: Just another working stiff, buzzing through life, never had a care in the world until that fateful day at the Oval Office.

POINT OF VIEW

President Obama: "I was sitting there, trying to mind my own business when this fly kept nagging at me. So I hit it. End of story."

Fly: "I was with this tour group in the White House when I took a wrong turn and ended up in this room of giants, one of whom attacked me when I was trying to get his attention for directions."

POLITICS

President Obama: Democrat

Fly: Registered Republican

THE UPSHOT

President Obama: Criticized for harming a fly.

Fly: Left behind a wife and about 10,000 kids.

LAST WEEK: MEGAN FOX vs. ANGELINA JOLIE

Your pick: Angelina, with more than 58 percent of the vote.
