One question that did not come up in Monday's foreign policy debate was the President's use of drones to target specific individuals, including American citizens, for death – aka, the president's "kill list." When asked about it in the spin room of the Hofstra debate last Tuesday, three different Obama surrogates--Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Chuck Schumer and Robert Gibbs--literally walked away from the question.
We Are Change is a left wing group which seems to have held on to two powerful strains of Bush-era progressive discontent: 9/11 trutherism and concern over diminished civil liberties during the war on terror. Under Obama, the latter concern translates into a focus on the indefinite detention of Gitmo detainees and the President's so-called kill list.Members of We Are Change got into the spin room after the 2nd debate and asked a few Obama surrogates to address these questions. As you'll see, the surrogates literally walked away from the questions. First up is Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who claims she has "no idea" what the question is about before walking away.
