Telegraph ^ | October 13, 2013

President Barack Obama was dragged into the trans-Atlantic spying row after it was claimed he personally authorised the monitoring of Angela Merkel’s phone three years ago.

The president allegedly allowed US intelligence to listen to calls from the German Chancellor’s mobile phone after he was briefed on the operation by Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency (NSA), in 2010.

The ease and nonchalance by which Obama taps phones and hacks friends and foes alike raises questions about who else he wire-tapped:

<><> Did Obama wire-tap Hollyood bigshot, Harvey weinstein? Is that why Obama's daughter Malia got the job w/ Harvey? what does Obama have on Harvey?

<><> Did Obama tap Penguin Random House Book publishers and editors? Is that why M/M Obama got a humongous 60 million dollar book deal? what does Obama have on Penguin Random House personnel to get such a munificent deal?

It’s getting to the point of just asking who Obama didn’t spy on.

Would Obama really put bugs in Trump Tower?

“The monitoring of friends — this is unacceptable. It can’t be tolerated,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday through her spokesman Steffen Seibert. “

“The magnitude of the eavesdropping is what shocked us,” said Bernard Kouchner, a former French foreign minister, in a radio interview. “

All countries spy on each other. Not all countries spy on their own citizens.

My guess is he wiretapped Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and Justice Roberts.

That is the ONLY explanation for their erratic behavior

Obama also spied on the media. The media was really upset about it at the time. I’m sure they are OK with it now.

We remember the Rosen wiretapping, but saw a post about Sheryl Atkinson also being tapped. She had a show in which she showed her computer being interfered with. Whole paragraphs were being erased without her hands being near the keyboard. She took her computer to an expert (someone more “expert” than the average computer doctor), and they agreed that her computer was bugged.

Drudge had a long list of the folks Obama’s administration tapped... it’s NOT just a few. Most of ‘em innocent American citizens.

Obama, Hillary, Schumer, Lynch ... they’re all totalitarian thugs.
