Only a naive simpleton would believe anything coming from this White House or their obedient media organs.

[Gaffer]

Lies. All lies, all the time.

Is this the truth?

Or just the least UNtruthful answer?

[Hardraade]

Another version! How many are there now, four?

[sappy]

how could the white house have stopped it if they didn’t know about it?

[epluribus_2]

Bushes fault. Only Zer0 can fix it.

[ElkGroveDan]

Right after never doing it, they stopped doing it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yeah. Right.

And Ubama didn't know nothing.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The check is in the mail.

Innocent bystander president strikes again.

Knows nothing, except how to take credit.

[ldish]

they never know anything about anything until it is made public...and almost nothing with this bunch of lackeys...incompetent or lies...both!!!!!!!!!

i hate the POS and all his cronies...

Ohhhhh. The White House bugged the phones.

Not Obama. Some low level staffer, no doubt.

And I'm sure nobody is more wee-wee'd up than Barry Ilyich Obama.

[ThunderSleeps]

You're so right. "Oh, it wasn't us, it was that bad old NSA..." They're probably going to say it was elements/groups in the NSA put in place by Bush. ;-)

Sorry, the administration gets zero credit for stopping (well, allegedly stopping) wiretapping of our allies' (or former allies now?) leaders. That's like someone saying "No, really, I stopped beating my wife last summer." Oh, great, that makes you a saint eh? No.
