Nobel Peace Prize Winner Obama Reportedly Told Aides Last Year That He's "Really Good at Killing People"
According to new book Double Down
This will not go over well for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
According to the new book "Double Down," in which journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann chronicle the 2012 presidential election, President Barack Obama told his aides that he's "really good at killing people" while discussing drone strikes.
Peter Hamby of The Washington Post reported the moment in his review of the book.

Yeah but at least he's not a plagiarizing teabaglican!
Hero of the left, Rachel Maddow is a plagiarized also. http://rare.us/story/rachel-ma.....of-it-too/
Sure he killed but they were all bad men.
Or bad children. But soon-to-be bad men, that much we know.
In the words of Harvey Specter, "it's not bragging if it's true".
WTF?
That's why he started out as Commander-in-Chief instead of private or lieutenant.
Sometimes....what goes around...comes around.
"In a way, the world?view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird." 1984

He said this while discussing drone strikes, but it could just as easily apply to Obamacare.
I'd love to know the full context behind this, because what he is actually good at doing is not feeling guilty while sitting in a comfortable chair and signing pieces of paper that tell other people to go do the killing.
Does he actually sign pieces of paper and take responsibility?
I'd be very surprised if he did.
Did he say it with sadness, or was it a boast? If it was the latter, fuck him.

Liberal = Illiberal
Not difficult to understand their language. The truth is just always the opposite of what they say it is.
