Islamabad, June 17 (ANI): American President Barack Obama killed a fly in just one attempt during a television interview at the White House.
Before killing the persistent fly, the President had uttered “Get out of here”.
However, his words did not make any difference, and the fly kept buzzing around him.
He then waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up, and then smacked the insect dead in one attempt.
And immediately afterwards, Obama asked channel correspondent John Harwood: “Now, where were we?”
However, the President did discuss the killing of the fly later on.
“That was pretty impressive, wasn’t it? I got the sucker,” the News quoted him as saying.
Obama even pointed at the dead insect on the floor, and asked the camera crew whether they wanted to film that. (ANI)
