A new book on the 2012 presidential campaign claims that President Barack Obama told aides that he is "really good at killing people." According to Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the authors of Double Down: Game Change 2012, Obama made the comment while discussing drone strikes last year. A surprising strength, is how the President described it. How's that hopey changy stuff workin' out for you? Looking at it in context, Rich, doesn't seem like he was bragging. Any number of possibilities from sad to sardonic. Guess you had to be there. The printed word doesn't always portray meaning and intent. Obama didn't need to run through this preamble. Everyone knew the litany of his achievements. Foremost on that day, with the fresh news about al-Awlaki, it seemed the president was pondering the drone program that he had expanded so dramatically and with such lethal results, as well as the death of Bin Laden, which was still resonating worldwide months later. "Turns out I'm really good at killing people," Obama said quietly, "Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/03/obama-drones-double-down_n_4208815.html
