Obama: 'We Don’t Have a Domestic Spying Program'
Weekly Standard ^ | 8/6/13 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 08/06/2013 6:38:46 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama tells comedian Jay Leno that "We don’t have a domestic spying program." He made the comment during a taping of Leno's TV show.

Obama also says the U.S. is not overreacting by closing some U.S. embassies for a week. The president tells Leno, "The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately."

And the president says of Russia's Putin, "There are times when they slip back into Cold War thinking and Cold War mentality. What I continually say to them and to President Putin, that’s the past."

Here's the pool report:

POTUS finished taping the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He was wearing the same dark suit and blue tie as earlier today in Arizona.

Pool watched the taping on TV from another room at the NBC studios.

We are able to report on the contents now, after the taping, but not release a full transcript or too many quotes.

Pretty newsy interview. Leno asked about Edward Snowden, NSA, embassy closings, Russia, Hillary Clinton, economy, healthcare. On embassy closings:

POTUS said the U.S. was not overreacting.

That’s a lie barry... what isn’t a lie is that America has no President.

So I guess he wants the odds to be better so that more Americans die from terrorism? He sure is an oddball. For someone who is supposedly so intelligent and so well-spoken, he says a lot of idiotic things.

> Obama: 'We Don’t Have a Domestic Spying Program'

Yeah, and when I look out my window I see powder-blue unicorns flying through the sky pooping rainbows, too.

The man is certifiably insane.

But do not despair, citizens! The president is doing all he can to turn this around! The odds of dying in a terrorist attack will be going up, and then we can all rejoice!

It’s a flat-out lie. Homeland Security itself is a domestic spying agency.

It’s not a program. It’s a way of life.

“Obama: ‘We Don’t Have a Domestic Spying Program’ “

Obama: “My wife doesn’t have a fat arse.”

Which one is a “bigger” lie? I think we know the answer to that!

“Obama: ‘We Don’t Have a Domestic Spying Program’”

He’s probably telling the truth, the 49% that are Obama lovers are not being spied upon.

That was true before the abomination known as the Patriot Act. And, all the Patriot Act has done is spend billions of dollars to oppress US citizens under the guise of security theater.

heh heh that’s a good way of putting it... actually there’s such a thing as (my terminology) cross-spying, where to get around any domestic spying laws, countries will make a pact to spy on one another’s people.
