President Obama Allegedly ‘Really Good At Killing People’

President Obama said he’s “really good at killing people,” and is apparently turning some heads especially after being named a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2009. The US President was allegedly referring to his drone strikes overseas, but the quote is enough to start what could be a media frenzy.

The quote came from White House aides who claimed, in the new book Double Down, to have heard our President say the infamous words during his 2012 election campaign.

Considering President Obama’s approval rating is already lower than that of his Presidential predecessor George W. Bush, this tidbit of information may further destroy the image of the current leader of the free world. The approval rating mostly comes from being caught in a slew of alleged lies, as well as the problems said to be created when he signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Said law created ObamaCare and put a serious damper on the health insurance of families across the country.

At least it will if the ObamaCare website Healthcare.org can ever get up and running correctly. Considering how much health insurance companies are expected to charge, it only reinforces the idea that President Obama is “really good at killing people.” We only need mention food stamps at this point, as SNAP benefits are seeing a cut this month.

Last Year, President Obama Reportedly Told His Aides That He’s “Really Good at Killing People” http://t.co/FdUYkr4eFQ

The statement came as President Obama was looking in retrospect at his involvement in overseas drone attacks. The 2009 attacks in Afghanistan were followed by 145 drone strikes in Libya in 2011, the same year a lone gunman reportedly shot Osama bin Laden in his compound.

Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia also played host to targets in the drone strikes that led to President Obama saying he’s “really good at killing people.” Many of the drone strikes his administration was in charge of were “practice runs” done on places known for suspicious behavior, where the identities of the guilty were unknown. Those attacks alone probably cost countless innocent lives.

All military aged adults killed in those “practice runs” were considered combatants by the Obama administration.

Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill, author of Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield, may have praised President Obama’s actions, saying the US President 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.”

Allegedly, President Obama made it common practice to kill targets overseas based on suspicion alone, and call it legitimate assassination in spite of potentially innocent lives being taken in the process.

Our President may be right. President Obama’s alleged claim to being “really good at killing people” seems factually accurate.
