Did President Obama Tell His Aides That 'I’m Really Good At Killing People’?

Book Alleges Obama Told Aides About Drone Strikes: I’m ‘Really Good At Killing People’ -- CBS DC

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.

The quote from the book was first reported in Peter Hamby’s review in the Washington Post.
