While we’re on the subject, what do you think Obama meant when he said [direct quote], “I’m very good at killing people.”?
Hint: his dark side is unlike anything you can imagine.
The context for that quotation is the U.S. drone program and Osama bin Laden.

I certainly hope that President Donald Trump also will be very good at killing people (e.g. ISIS). I don’t want a Commander-in-Chief who doesn’t have a dark side.
Fail.
Obama didn’t say he was good at killing terrorists.
He didn’t say the US military was good at killing terrorists.
He didn’t even say that he personally was good at killing “bad people.”
Obama bragged that he personally was good at killing “people.”
You can Obot that statement for the rest of today and all day tomorrow, and it will still be sick and twisted.
Were you talking about a different “good at killing people” statement? When I googled that phrase, all I got were references to the book Double Down: Game Change 2012 with that exact quote in the book.
If you can find that quote with a different context, please post a link.

What statement that I made in my previous post was not true?
Maybe a better question would be, did you even read my prior post. You can’t seem to grasp that Obama had many options by which he could have made this statement. The most psychologically healthy choice would have been to praise the US military for killing terrorists.
A second option would have been for Obama to take personal credit for killing TERRORISTS. This would have been a false statement, but typical obama. Since he has no accomplishments of his own, he routinely takes credit for other people’s achievements.
But Obama went full on twisted-sick. Refusing to utter either the word ISIS or terrorist, he took praised himself for being very good, personally, at killing “people.”
If you even got as far as Psych 101, and didn’t sleep through it, you know that a person’s choice of words matter. Obama’s word choice says he’s a sick puppy. Deal with it.
In other words, no you can’t find any alternative documentation of that exact quote from what was reported in Double Down: Game Change 2012.
Here’s how breitbart.com covered it:
“A new book chronicling the new 2012 presidential election is reporting that President Obama used to tell his aides that he was “really good at killing people” referring to U.S. drone strikes.
Mark Halperin and John Heilemann are authors of the book “Double Down” recount the story.
Obama oversaw the 2009 surge in Afghanistan, 145 Predator drone strikes in NATO’s 2011 Libya operations, the May 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and drone strikes that killed the Pakistani Taliban leader and a senior member of the Somali-based militant group al-Shabab this week.
His administration also expanded the drone war: There have been 326 drone strikes in Pakistan, 93 in Yemen, and several in Somalia under Obama, compared to a total of 52 under George Bush.
In 2011 two of those strikes killed American-born al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki and his American-born, 16-year-old son within two weeks.
Jeremy Scahill, author of “Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield” told NBC News that Obama will “go down in history as the president who legitimized and systematized a process by which the United States asserts the right to conduct assassination operations around the world.”
So you just decided not to read my posts?
Or you read them, but cannot grasp the simple meaning of plain words?
Honestly, your posts have become nonsensical. If Obama said the quote, then everything I wrote is true—your Obot brain just cannot process it.
If your point is that Obama never made that statement, then at least your comments aren’t entirely meaningless.
I can explain exactly what happened. Your guy, Obama, said something unspeakably sick and perverted. Namely, he bragged about how good he is at killing “people.” That’s a level of sickness we associate with sociopaths, as you’re aware. It’s simply vile.
As an Obot you can’t cope with this level of depravity on Obama’s part. So you changed his quote from “people,” to ‘ISIS,’ and screamed “CONTEXT!”
I.e.: you imagined that if you said CONTEXT! enough, Obama’s quote would go away. You literally couldn’t comprehend what I typed, since my argument nullified yours.
Iow, I said that IN CONTEXT, a healthy person would still not have gloated over their personal flare for killing people. Even in the context of drones and ISIS, a non-Malignant Narcissist would have said, ‘The military is very good at killing terrorists.’ At worst, a simple Narcissist would say, ‘I am very good at killing terrorists.’
But Obama has NEVER considered ISIS to be terrorists. This is well documented. Plus, his pathologically extreme moral-equivalance doctrine dictates that ISIS is no worse than civilians.
So he said exactly what he meant: that he’s very good at killing people. The context alters that not one scintilla. Obama is a very sick person, though no Obot will ever grasp this fact.
Two more examples. On multiple occasions, Obama has used the US military to bomb the enemies of ISIS, giving the world’s more barbaric terrorists a much needed battle-assist. Look it up; it happened.
Two, help was readily available for the besieged at Benghazi. The assets were “spinning up,” at the beginning of the attack, and needed only an okay. At least three of the doomed Americans could have been saved.
But instead of a go command, they were ORDERED to stand down. Nine hours later, four heroic Americans were dead—killed after waiting an interminable time for the help Obama refused to authorize.
Yes, Obama is very good at killing people. At killing terrorists he sucks, but he’s very good at killing people.
Now I fully understand why you call yourself “Fantasywriter..”
I’ll stick with breitbart.com’s report.
This is a conservative forum. We tell the truth about Obama. For liberals, that is hate speech. They’d be happier among their fellow leftists.
Obama comes off just as pervertedly sick in the Breitbart article as in the others. Face it, he’s killed a lot of people. Take just the program in which he forced taxpayers to buy guns for Mexican drug thugs. They didn’t even attempt to trace the guns. They simply turned the drug lords & co loose with them. Some Americans were killed, and countless Mexicans.
I agree with Obama. He’s very good at killing people.
On this, you and I and Obama are in alignment. Kind of like the rarity of a total solar eclipse!
A lot of the Chicago butchery can be laid at Obama’s door also. When you glorify black violence, while demonizing the police, before long you get the war zone Chicago has become.
There are other big cities that can teach Chicago how to do it right.
“The number of shootings in New York City plummeted to 998 in 2016, the first time that rate has dipped below 1,000 since the city began tracking such incidents. That’s a 12 percent decline from 2015, a standout statistic in a year that saw record low crime rates across the city.
The city’s murder rate also fell from 2015 — down from 352 to 335 in 2016. (And a nick above New York’s historic low, notched in 2014, of 333, and tied for second with 2013.) New York Police Department brass attribute some of decrease in violent crime to gang takedowns (the city saw its biggest bust in April 2016), and according to the New York Times, big reductions in gang-related shootings and killings helped drive the overall numbers down.
NYPD chief of crime control strategies Dermot Shea also attributed the new lows to the department’s ability to better track crime patterns — linking multiple crimes to one perp, for example — which comes down to improvements in technology and good, old-fashioned police work. All together, the overall crime rate sunk 4 percent, with fewer than 102,000 major felonies — the lowest number of the CompStat era, which the NYPD began using in the early 1990s.”

The first step to solving Chicago’s bloodbath is for Obama’s term to end. Obama’s support for the terrorist group, BLM, has played no small role in chicago’s murder rate. Obama’s DOJ is too busy looking for white, homegrown terrorists, etc., to care about skyrocketing black crime. Trump will change all that in relatively short order.
I couldn’t agree with the president-elect more.
I also think its significant that New York City has 8.5 million residents and 334 homicides. Chicago has 2.6 million people and 762 homicides.
Los Angeles has 4 million inhabitants and 294 homicides.
Everything wrong with Chicago was on display when Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said, while in possession of the video showing four blacks saying, “F___ whites,” while sadistically torturing a mentally challenged white, that there was no concrete evidence of a hate crime. (He called it mere “stupidity.”) What he meant was, there was no evidence of a black person being tortured—THAT would be a hate crime.
Fix the attitude/culture underlying the Superintendent’s assessment, and the crime issue will be resolved.
