万花筒 2009-06-18&06-19 奥巴马拍苍蝇

Well, you know, when we first got into the room, there was this very large fly that was circling, and we didn’t quite know what to make of it, tried to get it, tried to get it out of the room. We thought it was out of the room. But when I was talking,I noticed it circling around the president. It was quite persistent¹. He put his, er, he put his hand up at one point.  Let’s take a, take a listen. I think we've got the video with a little bit of sound here.

 P: Hey, get out of here.

G: That’s the most persistent fly I’ve ever seen. Nice!

P: Now, where were we?

G: Yeah.

P: That was pretty impressive², wasn't it. I got the sucker. What do you think, Gibs?

G: That is very good. It’s all… It's right there. Perfect.

P: It’s right there. You wanna film it? There it is.
