to claim something an Afghan official 'may' have told the relative of a victim as proof Obama is taking personal credit for paying the money is partisan hackery. period.
Considering Obama's I..I...Me..Me it's not hard to believe at all. It's actually likely
show me a direct quote from Obama where he claims he personally paid this money. I'll resign from the board the instant you can do so.
^ Drama Queen.
Obama does not have to be heard or directly quoted to be the owner of the act. Regardless if this is directly attributable, this is a clear Narcissist President.
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- The U.S. paid $50,000 in compensation for each villager killed and $11,000 for each person wounded in a shooting rampage allegedly carried out by a rogue American soldier in southern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said Sunday.
A U.S. official, who asked not to be named, confirmed the report to MSNBC Sunday.
The families were told that the money came from President Barack Obama. The unusually large payouts were the latest move by the White House to mend relations with the Afghan people after the killings threatened to shatter already tense relations.
