something like this: "Republicans say I'm good at killing people."
After all, they say everything else.

I just tried to google and could only find a few blogs, etc, all citing one twitter from some "nobody".

(3,544 posts)9. I don't have a problem with him saying this at all.
He is good at it. NO ONE even got close to killing Bin Laden, until Obama showed up. I'd brag about it too.

I take what's written in this book with a grain of salt, just as I did with their previous one (Game Change). It's all hearsay. Unless they recorded the people they wrote about, who knows if any of it is true?

The one who has never let a day pass where he doesn't demonstrate his dislike for this president. Him?
He's full of shit.
