John Sexton @ Big Government:
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. Perhaps she missed this front pageNY Times story.

Of course they don’t answer.
They don’t have an answer.
Denial of the right to life by an arbitrary secret decision characterized the leaders of Venice 600 years ago.
Is that what we have become? Star Chambers?
High and Low Justice? Obama as a Feudal Lord?
Our ancestors came here to get away from Feudal Lords and Star Chambers. Mine did, anyway.
How long will it be until there are drone strikes on the Koch brothers?
A chilling thought.
No wonder Obama has had to aim his message at his own ”base.”
He’s thrown so much of it under the bus over the last 3+ years of his presidency that he has to trick them into voting for him once again.
He hasn’t got the time or energy to pinpoint his message toward the undecideds and Independents.
Maybe he’s cocky because he knows there is enough illegal voting going on so that he wins.
I read his his surrogates have been handing out FREE PIZZA and FREE T-SHIRTS for votes in Colorado.
Who knows what his peeps are doing elsewhere.
Ever wonder when the garbage is going to be taken out? panetta should be jailed for his terrorist activities in the clinton administration. Now he is director of the dod. he had no skills to run the cia and made it worse during his time there. But some democratic firm will hire his dead ass after this election. November 6, time for America to take out the garbage.
If you look at Obama’s actions since he was elected, they paint a portrait of a man who thinks that he is King.
He seems to believe, like any divinely appointed ruler, that if he says it, it becomes Truth. Like a king, with Royal Decrees that no one dare challenge.
No wonder he gets upset when his statements are questioned, by doing so, we are questioning his divinity.
yes you will know what’s in it ,once you pass the bill, PELOSY,
YOU WILL KNOW THE REAL OBAMA PLAN ONCE YOU VOTE FOR HIM. SAME MINDSET,
AND FROM WHAT IS TRANSPIRING, IT’S ENOUGH TO BE SCARE STIFF ,
a new anormal made normal BY OBAMA STROKE OF HIS PEN, YES SCARY,
DON’T GET HIM THERE, OR YOU WILL LOSE AND MORE THAN YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE MONEY SO HE WILL TAKE YOUR OWN ,
NO MATTER IF YOU’RE POOR OR RICH, YOU WILL LOSE
you have to have fallen in the lowest self esteem to promote the votes for a pizza, or a tshirt,
there should be a law for the young who vote, to get them to recite at leas half of the CONSTITUTION,
EITHER SIDES WOULD BE OKAY YOU PASS, THE OTHER NOT WORTHY TO VOTE.
AND THAT GOES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BE ELECTED,
MITT ROMNEY RECITED IT ALL, IN ONE SHOT LOOKING STRAIGHT AT OBAMA,
HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME, BUT I THINK HE WOULD HAVE FAIL,
LIKE EVERY THING HE DID IN HIS LAST 4 YEARS,
NEW YORK
BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE MONSTER STORM
COMING STRAIGHT AT YOU,
