Kinda makes you wonder if Obama thinks that the American citizen is the enemy?

Consider all the recent stories of customer credit card numbers being stolen. Where is the NSA? Aren't they supposed to be snooping this kind of thing out?

Oh, that's right. They're not snooping on America's enemies. They're snooping on Americans!

"Kinda makes you wonder if Obama thinks that the American citizen is the enemy?"

But did this start just under Obama? or has "armed agent creep" been going on for awhile?

Now would be a good time for Congress to review the necessity of armed agents in each of these agencies.

You are conflating a government called the 'United State of America' with a people called "Americans". So, in that regard, the entity "USA" is snooping on the USA's enemies, which happen to the Americans.

Seems to me that they have been stating with no uncertain terms that they find traditional American citizens their enemy since they took office! Am I missing something here?
