It seems that President Obama is very much aware of the effects of his drone campaign, as he reportedly told aides he’s “really good at killing people.”
The quote comes from a new book called “Double Down,” by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heileman, which chronicles the inside story of the 2012 election. The Washington Post was the first outlet to expose the quote in its review of the book.
The White House has yet to comment on the alleged quote, but one of the president’s senior advisors, Dan Pfeiffer, rejected many of the book’s claims on ABC’s Sunday show “This Week.” The book also claims that Obama’s political team considered replacing Vice President Joe Biden with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the reelection campaign.
“The president is always frustrated about leaks,” Pfeiffer said. “I haven’t talked to him about this book. I haven’t read it. He hasn’t read it. But he hates leaks.”
