At least one group isn’t impressed with the president’s killer reflexes: PETA. The animal-rights group sent Obama a no-kill trap after he nailed a fly, midair, during a CNBC interview Tuesday. The bug-battling tool captures insects alive. “We support compassion for even the smallest animals,” says a spokesman, noting that PETA appreciates Obama's opposition to factory farming, seal hunting, and fur. “We support giving insects the benefit of the doubt.”
