Perhaps. But they made of point of telling us the CIA(?) had his specially modified right after he took office to prevent tracking and monitoring.

It would be a bad thing for a foreign power to be able to target a cruise missile on his Blackbarry, or remotely listen in on cabinet meetings, etc.

F Obama and what he “feels”.
He is rapidly destroying a free America.
Now we have government monitoring of citizen phonecalls and e-mails and cars and credit and taxes and what not. Obama is America’s first tyrant.

[Rapscallion]

I’ve heard the claim that only 300 phones were monitored

The NSA admits now to a far worse situation. Employee monitoring citizen phones at will. If we allow this America is really done in by the tyrants.

0bama does not "feel" that his political opponents are Americans. So, no problem.

... was legal and authorized by Congress in the interests of thwarting militant attacks.

Such a statement coming from the administration regardless that author of the Patriot Act has testified that collecting such data is an abuse of the act, and that the Boston bombers fell through the cracks.

Patriot Act author says NSA surveillance ‘an abuse’ of the law

this WH has the common criminal narcissistic mentality; its the victim's fault for allowing themselves to be in a position to become the victim

Sorry pal, but objective number 2 in the coming revolution will be the utter destruction of this data base. It is a threat to every Americans security. Objective number 1 of course will be restoring the constitution as the supreme law of the land.

It's really creepy, the distance being put between ‘the people’ and the President. His administration hits the Sunday talk shows constantly to report to us serfs what Dear Leader ‘feels’ about any given subject. IMHO, this is being done to remove any notion that the President of the United States is accountable to the masses but rather to reinforce some notion of him being a Monarch.

[MestaMachine]

Wonder if obama could ‘feel’ a punch in the mouth.

“I hope it tweaks the hell out of all those Libs!”
——More likely, given what we know, it is a perfect strategy for flushing out all NSA-opposition, laying it all out there
with usernames and sometimes faces attached to it: no need for a high-tech dragnet there—it’s all dutifully assembled
for anyone and everyone to see.

He’s one of guys you can’t understand how he hasn’t received a boatload of those in his life. Maybe he has, we wouldn’t know about it.

[bgill]

This from Mr. Transparency.

Cellphones seem to be increasingly attractive to the Department of Justice...

Reason #316 why I don't need a cellphone.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow, you’re right.

[GOP Poet]

Yep. They can do what ever they want. Some of us won’t let it shut us up. You are right, more than likely this is something if they aren’t doing they sure want to be.

Says the man who hid his own history from the People’s scrutiny with a stroke of the Presidential pen.
