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.
