Obama's willingness to joke about other people's death by horrendous remote controlled killing machines is no different thatn George Bush's joking about not being able to find weapons of mass destruction under his desk. They are both sophmoronic assholes doing the bidding of a select group of bigger assholes who want to control the earth's resources and people. It's a sick joke to them, but that's what they need to laugh themselves to sleep at night.
