In light of a recent report, Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) fears the National Security Agency may be spying on President Barack Obama. “They could well be spying on the president, for all I know,” Paul says, in an interview with National Review Online. “He has a cell phone, and, in fact, my guess is that they have collected data on the president’s phone.”
Paul also believes the federal government may be tracking Pope Francis. “The most important question we need to ask the NSA is, ‘Are you telling us you’re collecting no data on the pope?’ And, ‘Did you collect any information on him when he was the archbishop, while staying in a certain residence in Rome at the time of the election?’ I don’t think they’re telling the truth.”
Earlier today, Paul introduced a Senate resolution, calling for the president to address the story published Wednesday by Panorama, an Italian magazine.
Panorama claims the NSA eavesdropped on millions of Italian calls, including calls made by cardinals during the conclave. The NSA has denied the allegation, and a papal spokesman said the Vatican is “not aware” of any such activity, and has “no concerns.”
Paul, however, remains skeptical of the NSA’s denial. “I think they’re spying on every American,” he says. “It’s alarming and inexcusable if we’re spying on religious leaders around the world.”

What a concept.
Just exactly who IS the NSA? Are they on our side? Or totally rogue? Because the blackmail payouts to keep Obarry's origins hidden would be worth millions, yachts, jewels, and perhaps a small state, like maybe Rhode Island. Or Texas.
It would be truly poetic justice if Putin would be the one to get the dirt on Barry.
The Russians would know how to get around the American msm. They had long perfected the art of “spiking” a news story throughout friendly news papers around the globe until it became known world wide.
You mean the blackberry he refused to give up....even when asked to.
“...the National Security Agency may be spying on President Barack Obama...”
Doubt it.
They’re following his orders.
If the NSA *is* spying on that Islamic poser in the White House (currently known as president) they need to come clean with information.
Oh, I'm sure he has had it all along.
He's either just waiting for the perfect moment to spring the trap...or he's getting lots of OUR "stimulus" money as payola.
Of COURSE they are!!
(Right boys?? ;^)
Excellent reply/post:
“Well at least they’d finally be doing their job which is to monitor the activities of this nation’s foreign enemies.”
They now know all they need to know about basketball brackets, tee times and choom.
spying on Obama?
is this like the sherrif’s introduction scene in “Blazing Saddles”?
Why spy on him? Just read Karl Marx and Obama’s ghost written two books and you will know exactly what he is up to. BTW he told you up front, “Fundamentally Change America”.
