Former National Security Agency analyst Russ Tice, a Bush-era whistleblower, has recently made some startling claims that the federal government’s wiretap endeavors targeted high-ranking government including military officials, lawmakers and diplomats.
One of those target wound up being elected president. In a talk show appearance on Wednesday, Tice made the astonishing claim that the NSA had ordered wiretaps on phones connected to then-Democratic Senate hopeful Barack Obama in 2004, weeks prior to his breakout at the 2004 Democratic Convention in Boston.
“Now, here’s the big one,” Tice said. “I haven’t given you any names. This was in summer of 2004, one of the papers that I held in my hand was to wiretap a bunch of numbers associated with a 40-something-year-old wannabe senator for Illinois. You wouldn’t happen to know where that guy lives right now would you? It’s a big white house in Washington, D.C. That’s who they went after, and that’s the president of the United States now. ”
In 2006, Tice was a whistleblower revealing other indiscretions of the Bush administration NSA, claiming that revealing details about government spying on citizens was an effort to clear his conscience.

This is about the third ‘hint’ given that Obama was taped in the past... this - with the Russian President etc. etc... Don’t know what to make of this...
I don’t doubt that some of the leftist groups coordinating with The Iraq resistance were targeted..they should have been. What I doubt is that Barack Obama was targeted...unless he was working with them too and in that case..why would they have ever allowed him to become President? Why wasn’t anything leaked about his shady past to prevent his nomination?
I just don’t buy it.
This guy’s trying to muddy the waters, he knows nobody buys his claim, he just wants to cast doubt on whistleblowers.
lol, they’re really getting desperate now.
Well, yeah. He wouldn’t shut his yap.
LOL! I'm stealing that and putting it in my back pocket for the first time some popcorn fart tries to throw this in my face....
Notice how the Bush-rapping stories always seem to come out of the USA press, while the only truthful stories about Obastard come from Europe? And they’re the “Land of the Weenies!”
Sure it wasn’t actually Jack Ryan, Obama’s opponent until he was forced to drop out after his sealed divorce reports were made public? Makes more sense.
