Obama and Graham on the same bloody page.

"Becoming the first elected government official to publicly state an estimated number of "innocent people" killed in US drone attacks overseas, Sen. Lindsey Graham told a local crowd in his home state of South Carolina that "We've killed 4,700."

Speaking to a group of Rotarians at a forum in Easley, South Carolina, Graham responded to question about drones by saying, "Sometimes you hit innocent people, and I hate that, but we're at war, and we've taken out some very senior members of Al-Qaeda."

His remarks, reported by the local Easley Patch, included a defense of the use of drones despite their propensity to kill innocent bystanders, including women and children.

“I didn't want him to have a trial,” Graham stated, referring to a US citizen, Anwar Al-Awlaki, who was assassinated in Yemen by a missile from a US drone in 2011.

You should know that you're doing something wrong when Graham agrees with you. Oh, and we finally got an admission from a government official about the total number of innocents killed, 4,700. What a sad statement that is. I guess Obama didn't want Al-Awlaki, or his son to have a trial either, since he is the one who ordered the attack. Two parties, same blood soaked policy. Yep, that's change you had better believe in, because if you don't. . .
