Obama Spikes the Football: Says He is "Really Good at Killing People" I have No Problem with That

It isn't too hard to highlight some people on a printout and then have a drone kill them off.

A quote from a new book on the 2012 presidential campaign, “Double Down: Game Change 2012,” will surely stoke that interest. As first reported in a book review by the Washington Post’s Peter Hamby, Obama told aides in connection with the CIA's drone program that he is “really good at killing people.” 

It’s the kind of quote likely to make Obama supporters cringe or scramble for justifying explanations, perhaps by rationalizing the quote as either false or out of context, or critiquing the information-gathering methods of authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. The writers spent two years interviewing dozens of people connected with both the Obama and Romney campaigns.

I have no trouble with the drone program or even Obama being a bit bloodthirsty because it has struck terror into Al-Quida and the Taliban. Al-Quida leaders are used to getting a bunch of teenagers to wear bomb belts or go out on suicide raids while they are safe in their enclaves.

The drone strike evens the score and makes them think they should try a different line of work rather than directing a terror network. I have no beef at all with the White House when it comes to drone strikes. Just keep the collateral damage to a acceptable minimum and keep on killing those Al-Quida scumbags.
