NSA Phone Tapping of other world leaders? Our President "didn't know"

[AtTheMurph]

The buck stops where?

The buck stops where?

Over there.

Or campaigning.

It's a tough row to hoe. He was probably at the club getting a massage.

 

[Tnichols00]

Either he is the most ill informed president or a liar, there is no in between. Pick one BO but either way it makes you unfit

 

[indykid]

He has lied about everything else so far, I would not expect him to all of a sudden start telling the truth now.

Just another lie, nothing special.

So you meant to say a tough ho to row?

 

[mrjarrell]

He knew about it, and approved it. He's been outed by his own people.
Obama knew of NSA spying on Merkel and approved it, report says | Fox News

 

[87iroc]

Eh, he's saying he told them to 'stop it' when Snowden came out...and well, shrug, they didn't.

I don't know how this is really news. Does anyone NOT think it's always gone on? I mean, like, I don't have any secret sources to protect or anything but I have understood this has always gone on.
Even in the days that WE built a new embassy in Moscow or where ever and before it was even finished it had to be closed and torn down due to bugging by the Russians. I don't think they even denied it.
I just accept stories like this as business as usual.
The fault I find here is the incompetence of getting busted. LMAO!!! I'm just glad I don't have Jay Carney's job. What a sh.. job to lie like that for a living. I feel sorry for him.

The sad thing is that I would at least give him a little credit if he came out and said something like, "yeah we did it. It's Germany. The don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to not startng world wars."

Instead he comes out and says, " I didn't know about it, derp, derpa, derpa."

 

[ghuns]

There is a simple test we can all apply to statements from our leaders, stupid or liar? I will submit that there are very few stupid people in the higher levels of the .gov

And I am guessing the White House will continue to deny it.

He will go down in history as the "I am rubber, your glue. What bounces off me sticks to you. . . President."

 

[Dr.Midnight]

Spy on your friends, arm drug lords, and look for every excuse to arm terrorists. How he's not considered one of the worst Presidents in history is beyond me.

Report: White House stopped phone tapping of German Chancellor Merkel - CNN.com

More bull**** and deflection abound.

So, serious question - What the hell does our President know?

No, I don't buy this for a minute. Five years of "he didn't know"... about all the crappy parts of his government... but once something positive happens you know for damn sure he was right there, making all the right calls.

I am 57, and I remember JFK, this is the first prez, that Never knows ANYTHING !!!!! HOW did he get elected TWICE ?????

 

[MCgrease08]

Merkel is the shining star over there, and she aint to wacko liberal. she actually wrote about diversity is killing countries. i applaud her.

Yeah, cause that type of thinking worked out real well for Germany a few decades back.

 

[87iroc]

I take it back...he never told them to stop....not sure how this helps his case.

Administration denies halting spying against American allies - The Hill's Hillicon Valley

 

[2A_Tom]

OBAMA don't know jack, never did, never will.

That is his legacy.

Total FAILURE on ALL fronts.

[zippy23]

He didnt know about nsa spying, he didnt know about benghazi, he didnt know about fast and furious, he didnt know about obamacare website problems, he didnt know about the irs targeting conservative groups, anyone believing this is just plain STUPID. A normal person should think one of two things, either he didnt know, which means as president he has no clue what is going on in his administration and is a moron, or two, he is LYING about everything and needs to be gone. Either way, he needs to be removed from office. But there are so many stupid, ignorant liberal voters that will buy everything he says, my issue is with the republicans and conservatives that are just now "waking up" to who this man really is. anyone with half a brain knew this is who he is, so sad our country is this far gone.

 

[J Starkey]

At this point nobody can believe a word from this administration, not that I ever have. I just wonder when or what it will take for everyone to wake up and see him for the failure he truly is. How anyone can still believe him or have faith in him as our potus is beyond my belief.
