Barack Obama can now list 'fly destroying ninja' to his already impressive CV, after he took out a buzzing insect that was interrupting a television interview at the White House.

Initially, in accordance with his consensus-building approach to foreign policy, Obama attempted the diplomatic route to fly removal, telling the insect: 'Get out of here.'

But the rogue fly, which was probably a terrorist fly or something, ignored the ultimatum.

So Obama waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked the fly dead in one try. Awed cries of 'Nice!' echoed around the room from interviewer John Harwood and memebers of the crew.

The president then smoothly returned to to CNBC correspondent Harwood, and said: 'Now, where were we?'

'That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker,' he added.

Pointing to the now deceased fly on the floor, He Who Brings Justice To Flies asked the camera crew: 'You want to film that?'

Fortunately for historians of the great humans v. flies conflict, they did.
