something like this: "Republicans say I'm good at killing people."

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?
