President Obama, as we saw in CNBC's John Harwood's interview, would hurt a fly.

Barely Political has some fun with it, likening Obama to a "Ninja" and sees his cold-blooded Karate chop as a threat to North Korea.

Video: During an interview at the White House with CNBC's John Harwood, President Obama shows a fly buzzing around him who's boss.

But guess who doesn't think the president's so zen or enlightened? Well, you probably guessed: PETA.

"He isn't the Buddha," PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. "He's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."

But think upon this ancient proverb: Let, he who has never swatted a fly, cast the first whack.
