Oh No! We should retreat into hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil mode. Then we can truly say, “I didn’t see that coming”.
Spy-Gate, hardly. Germany, France, Spain, China…it’s not like they and we haven’t been doing this for a very long time. Why is there superficial outrage, we have a weak, superficial CinC that continually denies knowledge of what is going on in his Administration. Remember, if you like your plan you can keep it, period.
Let the impeachment process begin. Make Obama’s legacy equal that of Richard Nixon.
The first tape recorder in the oval office was probably installed by
FDR, before that, stenographers sat behind closed doors to record what
was said. Nixon was simply the guy who got caught saying something he shouldn’t have (course maybe he shouldn’t have bugged the DNC either) – it sucks to be the
guy left holding the bag.
Expands??? cmon, This is tip of iceberg of what was going on in the 70’s*******RAF Menwith Hill is actually a misnomer, since it is run by NSA. And 60 million phone calls over a year, yeah right………….try days……
From Menwith Hill’s wiki page…………Investigative journalist, Duncan Campbell, revealed in 1988, in an article entitled “Somebody’s listening” and published in New Statesman, the existence of the ECHELON surveillance program, an extension of the UKUSA Agreement on global signals intelligence Sigint and detailed how the eavesdropping operations worked.[9]
On 5 July 2000, the European Union set up the European Parliament’s Temporary Committee on the ECHELON Interception System stated that the global system for the interception of private and commercial communications was operating by means of “cooperation proportionate to their capabilities” among the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand under the UKUSA.” The Committee raised concerns about the incompatibility of the interception of private and commercial communications with the fundamental right to respect for private life (Article 8 of the ECHR). [10] During the early 1970s, the first of what became more than eight large satellite communications dishes were installed.
This is what Barry meant by “transparency” — we can see everything you are doing!
If you think we have not been spying on Germany ever since WWII, and probably since WWI, you are crazy. And yes, so none of you will be shocked we are spying on China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Taiwan, etc. etc. and wherever there are “hot spots” in the world that might erupt and effect American interests.
Oh, and you want to hear a real shocker, most of them are spying on us. Particularly Israel and China. The Chinese have hacked DOD computers on numerous occasions.
Of course Obama didn’t know! You can also keep your doctor AND your insurance plan!
Obama also said that Benghazi was a protest to an internet video…and not a terrorist attack!
How dare you question the all mighty, all powerful Valerie !
Obama has evolved onto the Charlie Sheen of politics….Winning!
In other news: There was a sudden and unexplained lack of toilet paper in the White House.
He wants to be called,’Edwardina’,now,bitches.
Good one – took me a minute but a good one!
No other country nor nation believes anything anymore that Obama says. Hence, the pathological liar has destroyed our relationships with our allies.
