President Barack Obama, speaking on Friday after a presentation on the health-care law, said that "nobody is listening to your telephone calls," in reference to the National Security Agency's programs that monitor communications.

Liar, liar, pants on freaking fire!

God damn you Barack Obama!

He’s outright lying, and the morons on the streets are going to believe every word of it.

This is getting REAL bad.

No one is listening to you cellphone calls. We just know where you were when you called, who you’re calling, where they’re located, the duration of the call, the people who are using cellphones in your proximity, who they’re calling...

I'm confused. I thought there was no terrorism? Evah? Except by US citizens.

Obama says he increased some of the “safeguards” on the programs after taking office. And he believes they help his administration stop terrorist attacks.

NoBODY was listening.

Nope, not a body. Just thousands of computers recording all for later. In case we decide we need it. THEN a person listens to it.
