Imagine if a republican president had made this statement! Remember how the left was apoplectic when Reagan joked about the "bombing starts in 5 minutes"? Meanwhile, they celebrate a murderer who couldn't win a slap fight with a 12 year old girl. Liberals, wrong since birth.

Apparently, he's not that good at all.

The article says they estimate civilian deaths in the region of somewhere around 940 under Obama.

Bush II is estimated to have killed 112,000-123,000 civilians.

Much of Obamas drone attacks have taken place in places outside of Iraq.

Its kind of sad you could find a win in this situation.

Mr. Obama’s reported statement comes at a time of increasing criticism for his use of drones in Pakistan and Yemen. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in London reports that Mr. Obama has given approval for 326 drone strikes. And since 2004, drones have killed between 2,500 and 3,600 — 950 of whom are considered civilians, the organization claims, The Daily Mail reported.


The president’s specific words: I’m “really good at killing people,” authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann write in “Double Down: Game Change 2012,” The Daily Mail reported. They get their claim from a Washington Post report that buries the statement as a brief anecdote in an article, in which the president is described as speaking to aides about the drone program and then making the claim.

Halperin and Heilmann are far from "right wingers".
War is hell and people die in war. The term for this is collateral damage.

[now all of a sudden there's a problem?]
