In an uncharacteristic expression of accountability, Barrack Hussein accepted full responsibility for the drone strike that killed two innocent hostages in Pakistan in January.
Obama’s admission having not been universally well accepted, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was quick to announce afterwards that Obama did not personally approve the strike. According to the Washington Times, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama did not personally sign off on the two drone strikes.”
What Obama said: “As President and as Commander-in-Chief, I take full responsibility for all of our counterterrorism operations, including the one that inadvertently took the lives of Warren and Giovanni.”
What Obama meant to say: “As President and as Commander-in-Chief, I take full responsibility for all of our counterterrorism operations, including the one that inadvertently took the lives of Warren and Giovanni, even though George Bush personally oversaw the operation, and as usual screwed everything up.”
King Hussein added that it was equally tragic that Hillary’s server was destroyed in the strike.
