| What goes through Obama's mind right before pressing the drone strike button? (Posted on 1/18/13 at 9:24 am)
As he is watching the events unfold on camera, does he think mentally check himself with the thought that "...if there’s even one life that can be saved, then we’ve got an obligation to try.”?

You think the President actually presses the buttons that launch drone strikes?

I'm sure no one thinks he physically presses the button himself but I do remember reading that even on the campaign trail he took a very special interest in watching the strikes live. I'm on KY phone so I don't want to search out a link but that article helped start a movement about Obama actually enjoying these strikes.

I can't imagine being one of the Airmen whose job it is to go to base everyday and operate the drones like it's a video game. Has to be very unsettling.

I asked what goes through his mind, not his loins. $100 says he gets a chubby.

This, too, is unsettling.

Probably a lot less unsettling than being in a jet or attack helicopter doing essentially the same thing.

Knowing Obama, he probably laughs and says "wait till the foolish American people feel the wrath of my drones muhahahahah"
