US whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed recently that the National Security Agency programme had cooperated with German intelligence services in the programme.
The German government denied that the electronic communications of citizens and politicians were being tracked on a massive scale in the country where privacy laws are among the world's strictest.

Obama making new friends all over.

More Obama foreign relations idiocy. Remember when they Mocked Palin over how much better Obama would be?
I think Obama has set back the USA foreign relations over a hundred years. Single handedly he has wiped out the US influence in the Middle East, and insulted or offended all our European contacts.

Get Bush back in Office...

Are these the same Germans who helped to give us “The Great ObamaNation”?
But at least he did have Hillary give Putin a reset... er, uh, an overload button
