Mancouchers and Mancouchettes, I've killed many a bug in my time. When I was younger, I used to spend my summers in Brigantine, New Jersey; to this day, I swear that there are more greenheads than people in that town. My friends and I used to make a game out of who could swat more of them out of midair.
I suppose if I were President, I'd be a national hero for this.
I've now read countless stories about the act this morning, with headlines from "Obama victorious in battle with fly" (technically true, but overstated a bit?) to referring to it as an "amazing show of athleticism," which is... well, come on, it's a fly. the Karate Kid did it with chopsticks without the Secret Service on hand backing him up.
My question to you guys is: Which is more impressive: current President Obama's "ninjalike" swatting skills, Daniel with the chopsticks, or this video of former President Bush Matrix-dodging a shoe?
I think Obama is a big hero for killing a fly that was sitting on him. This is why people voted for him.
Who do you think'd win between Obama "The Swatter" v. Bush "The Dodger"??
lol. honestly i liked the shoe ducking. the music put on after it just made it that much more amazing.
i mean he dodged a shoe TWICE. and any dude can swat a fly in one shot.
Both were pretty awesome. Of course, it would have been more awesome if Obama actually flicked the fly in mid air, and/or if Bush came and tackled the guy himself.
Obama goes and attacks his problems head (palm?) on. Bush runs away from them.
Am I the only one who finds everyone making a fuss about Obama killing a fly is just...stupid? Big deal.
i think the only difference is obama is the president of the US and miyagi is an actor/film/movie. everything obama and his family does is going to be big news. i thought it was pretty funny though. he hit it right on. i couldnt even do that with a fly swatter.
Bush ducking was funny. If only he kicked that guys ass for it =D Now THATS news.
I don't particularly think any of them are impressive.. mostly just funny. Especially how much people make it a big deal.
you betcha Obama would have caught the fly with a pair of chopsticks if he had any with 'em
