President Obama bragged of being ‘really good at killing people:’ bookAccording to an excerpt from the campaign tell-all ‘Double Down,’ the shocking boast occurred as Obama was discussing drone strikes with aides.By Adam Edelman
Monday, November 4, 2013, 1:30 PMPresident Obama told aides that he’s “really good at killing people,” during discussions about drone strikes, according to a bombshell book out this week.
“Double Down,” a political tell-all about the 2012 presidential race by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, alleges that Obama made the unusual boast while chatting about the increased amount of drone strikes the military had engaged in under his administration.
The eyebrow-raising encounter was first reported by The Washington Post, which cited an excerpt of the book the paper obtained.
“Double Down,” which will be released Tuesday by Penguin Press, is reportedly full of additional surprising anecdotes, including allegations that Obama aides researched options for replacing Vice President Joe Biden on the ticket with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well claims that Mitt Romney camp unearthed several unflattering facts about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during its vice-presidential vetting process of him.
