The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has stepped up its surveillance of senior German government officials since being ordered by Barack Obama to halt its spying on Chancellor Angela Merkel, Bild am Sonntag paper reported on Sunday. Revelations last year about mass U.S. surveillance in Germany, in particular of Merkel´s mobile phone, shocked Germans and sparked the most serious dispute between the transatlantic allies in a decade. Bild am Sonntag said its information stemmed from a high-ranking NSA employee in Germany and that those being spied on included Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, a close confidant of Merkel.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I wonder if the level of surveillance of our actual enemies, say Iran, for example, has gone down.
Probably. Obama treats our friends abroad and countrymen alike — with utter contempt.
Sounds about right. Obama spies on people, swears he had no part in it. Swears it will stop because well, it is oh so bad, we can’t tolerate........................................
then he doubles down and proceeds to step up the bad activity.
Yep, it’s a pattern.
Less than three years to go of enduring obama. May the Nation make it!!!
Apparently, he didn’t tell them to stop spying on anyone other than Angela Merkel.
Not too long ago articles that used the word “shocked” or “shocking” in them actually were shocking.
Now they’re just “The Daily Duh.”
Somewhat less time if the true conservatives can take enough of the House and Senate.
I wonder how much spy wars activity is going on behind the scenes and how much the German government is making life uncomfortable for US embassy staff?
True ...
NSA is just gettin while the gettin is good.
You see Islam needs help to expedite there control over the world.
Once Germany and the rest of Europe has been taken over by Islam...there will be no need for the NSA to spy anymore. /S
Obama does not keep his word, and thus Obama cannot be trusted, PERIOD.
Obama is a disgrace to the Democrats of America.
A disgrace to Democrats? Actually Obummer is the very essence of the contemporary Democrat. They are, with few exceptions, immensely proud of him.
Indeed it is. It's why I believe this story, knowing nothing about the veracity of the source.
