WASHINGTON (CBS DC) – A new book covering the 2012 presidential campaign uncovers a series of scathing remarks from political figures, but one alleged comment has stirred controversy around President Barack Obama and his administration’s use of targeted drone strikes.

Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book “Double Down: Game Change 2012” notes President Obama commenting on drone strikes, reportedly telling his aides that he’s “really good at killing people.”

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates that a total of 2,528-3,648 people have been killed by CIA drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004, and between 416-948 of them being civilians. The group labels 326 of such events as “Obama strikes.”

Obama is so thoroughly insulated from the actual killing ground that it's like he's playing a multi-billion-dollar video game. But he lost his soul long before he pushed the first button.

I don’t know why people accept this. Our country used to be different than the USSR.

No, Barry, you’re really good at having Men kill other Men, you don’t do any of the work.

He’s very good at killing people-especially when they’re dumb enough to trust him.

This statement should not come as a surprise as this is about his mindset.

This might be the only actual truth he has ever told in his entire life. And he makes a joke of it. He is one sick bastard.

Should anyone with this attitude be anywhere near the White House?

This is on par with "we came, we saw, he died. har har".
