As per usual, O'bomb-a knows nothing. Which begs the question: WTF does he even know?
All of these executive-level branches that answer only to him, yet the official story is that he doesn't have a fuckin' clue. How can anyone defend that?
So true. He just reads from the scripts that are made for him. At night they must just pipe subliminal policy statements to him while he sleeps.
But, goddamn it, Barry just said he didn't know anything....I know Nothingggggg. (WSJ)
He is reading from scripts ...YES! I wanna know who the fucking author is!

Since you don't trust us and aren't talking to us, I guess we will not be rereturning your gold
Mutti is not pleased. Now that its her phone being tapped.
No gold? The real game changer would be if Germany decided they wanted to push for the closure of American military bases. This would create a situation in which the ball would be soley in the hands of America. With all eyes watching.
Of course this would never happen.
I would bet that the net with their bases is a positive for Germany. Just a guess, but it would be interesting to know.
Isn't the eavedropping party now privy to any criminal, corrupt or suspicious activities on the part of the bugged?
Doesn't that make it incumbent upon them to report anything....remotely suspicious......
Doesn't that make POTUS liable? He is after all their fully briefed boss.
Of course it does. HEY WHAT ABOUT THE DIMON AND BLANKFEIN BUGS???????????????
Fools.
Mark this post, Blankfuck and Diarrhea access NSA data routinely. Where there is Fascist Sam there are always the cocksucking Fascist corporations buying and selling your personal data while you are excluded.
You think it is purely accidental that Gillette sends you a razor right after you register for selective service? Where do the addresses come from for the endless credit card offers in the mail? GOVERNMENT THAT SOLD YOU OUT.
The Clueless Executive, the imperfect cover story...lol.
The clueless dimwit defense has a limited shelf life...
Hopefully that shelf life ends in 2016.
2016. The year we replace a clueless dimwit with a maleficent, tyrannical despot.
Can't wait!!!
Hitlary, right?
What difference does it make?
people have a natural tendancy to assume incompetence over malice, and the government has long learned to milk that for everything its worth.
But I thought he was some sort of ultra-intellegent super being!
WTF MSM? Are you not being straight with us?
unless he reads it from the teleprompter he does not know, the choom wagon did in his memory
now ask Valarie Jarret, she is O's handler
It would be awesome if true, I want to see exec office criminal go down in flames on the world stage. I don't know about this Bild paper though, looks a bit like a tabloid
http://www.bild.de/
Their 'mission ass' piece is pretty good though.

"Which begs the question: WTF does he even know?"
He knows how to read the teleprompter. What else does he need to know?
THIS IS WATERGATE TIMES 1,000,000. IMPEACH THE CRIMINAL POTUS!
Was too.....
Was not......
Was too.....
Was not.....
Was too....................
IMPEACHMENT
NO IMPEACHMENT
I would ask why hasn't he been impeached already?
Obummer is unimpeachable. What white congressman wants to go down in history as supporting the impeachment of the first black president. There is NOTHING Obummer can do that would result in impeachment and he and his handlers know that. People need to just scrap the idea that he is somehow going to be impeached
534 accomplices
They do not tell him, they tell Jarrett, she claims she does not tell him. She is not required by law to do anything. Obama says .so sue me.

Hey, you dumb bitch. Whatever they say is a lie. I'd feel sorry for you but I know you are in on this game.
The legacy becomes clearer by the day.....

...but what oh what will Hillary do with these Stasi powers?
May God help us all, especially if we help ourselves
Bill would keep his wang is his pants that's for sure - because HC would know his every move
Females are more nurturing they don't revel in war-mongering, torture and butchery. Golda Meir and Margret Thatcher were really dudes and Hillary mis-spoke.
We've all seen Merkel naked and she has nothing to hide from us now.
Obama's all like, i'd tap that.
She did resemble a Wookie back in the day..........
President Barack Obama was told about monitoring of German Chancellor in 2010 and allowed it to continue, says German newspaperhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/10407282/Barack...
Merkel don't feel bad.
You're a foreigner, every American citizen has an NSA dossier on them. How do you think we feel?
No one will keep Obama in check so we just gotta deal.
btw NSA, it is me that visits youporn.com on a daily basis. Don't judge, so what if I like redheads? Is that in my character file? Shit, I'm not a terrorist I just like redheads!!! Their fiesty nature gets me hot-n-bothered.
Barack Obama 'approved tapping Angela Merkel's ass 3 years ago'
Barack says, "Yes I was told we were snooping on Merkel's phone. But I wasn't listening to the guy who told me, so I never really heard it. So really I didn't know."
Barack adds, "If I had known, I would have told them to stop. But since I wasn't listening, I couldn't tell them to stop, so it continued. It's these damn dumbo ears, they pick up everything, it's hard to make out individual conversations, so I just nod and smile. Makes people think I heard them and agree with what they said."
Germany stop F*cking about. Just exit from the EU! Send Obama a message saying "f*ck you, you useless commie." That's the reason he tapped Merkel in the first place.
Der Spiegel has the most comprehensive coverage of this affair. Here is an interesting excerpt:
Posing as Diplomats
A "top secret" classified NSA document from the year 2010 shows that a unit known as the "Special Collection Service" (SCS) is operational in Berlin, among other locations. It is an elite corps run in concert by the US intelligence agencies NSA and CIA.
The secret list reveals that its agents are active worldwide in around 80 locations, 19 of which are in Europe -- cities such as Paris, Madrid, Rome, Prague and Geneva. The SCS maintains two bases in Germany, one in Berlin and another in Frankfurt. That alone is unusual. But in addition, both German bases are equipped at the highest level and staffed with active personnel.
The SCS teams predominantly work undercover in shielded areas of the American Embassy and Consulate, where they are officially accredited as diplomats and as such enjoy special privileges. Under diplomatic protection, they are able to look and listen unhindered. They just can't get caught.
Wiretapping from an embassy is illegal in nearly every country. But that is precisely the task of the SCS, as is evidenced by another secret document. According to the document, the SCS operates its own sophisticated listening devices with which they can intercept virtually every popular method of communication: cellular signals, wireless networks and satellite communication.
The necessary equipment is usually installed on the upper floors of the embassy buildings or on rooftops where the technology is covered with screens or Potemkin-like structures that protect it from prying eyes.

Poignant and powerful film: The Lives of Others
On anything bad, Obama never seems to be aware of it. And the people know it and are calling him out on it. Take a look at the comments in the following apologist artice from WSJ.

The smartest guy in the room has no clue about what's going on around him.
Good luck getting an anti-spy deal from America. I'm a fucking American with Constitutional protections against such encroachments and I can't get a no spy agreement.........
...next they'll say some "rogue regulator" from Cincinnati did it ;-)
"NSA specialists didn’t tap Merkel’s specially secured land-line"
No, GCHQ did that one.
And while we're on the subject, how can the French moan about foreign eavesdropping... what's the big-assed squirrel cage antenna array on top of that hill on Corsica for, eh, Pierre? Cellphone coverage a bit spotty around there, is it?
Can't verify who did what here, but Mitz's point should be understood board-wide, if it isn't already.
Those in power are very careful with their language to narrow it such that what you think they said and what they actually meant are very different.
"Nothing planned"
"At this point"
"Currently"
<specific subject> "didn't/did"....
And others.
These should be high on anyone's radar that a lie is forthcoming. While, technically not a lie, it is indeed a lie meant to obfuscate.
Listen for the modifier phrases/words that limit to who/time/duration, etc.
Yup. Anytime the 'elite establishment' says "We did not tap any phones in Italy" they mean...
WE didn't do it, but the Germans did and well, it's so hard to track those 32GB USB drives in diplomatic bags. And our German allies absolutely did not monitor any Spanish phonecalls! The Portugese did that one! They have an intelligence sharing agreement with Turkey, who have an agreement with Germany.
"NSA boss Keith Alexander personally informed Obama in 2010 about secret operations targeting German chancellor and president didn’t demand to stop it, Bild am Sonntag reported, citing unidentified U.S. intelligence sources..."
This is a good sign. There is some dissension in the ranks. Perhaps Alexander -- evil fucker that he is -- doesn't want to be the fall guy on this.

One can only hope they will all start going cannibal on each other. Publicly.
Aren't we exceptional! Jus' protectin' r freedoms. Y'all are just jealous!
Will the Europeans give Obama another peace prize because they love him so much.
Hey idiots who watch TV and Hollywood's shit - you enable this police state everytime you click on the TV and give Hollywood you money. Dumb sheep.
"Will the Europeans give Obama another peace prize because they love him so much."
love? what has love to do with it? that peace prize was given for the great feat of not being Bush. that committe of Scandinavians should have gone the whole way and just awarded Bush a special negative peace award
I'm wondering when SEAL TEAM SIX gonna get some payback on Barry Pakalolo's ass for what he did to them.
As soon as someone starts paying them in gold?
This is pretty serious. But I suspect it will pale in comparison when Germany finds out that US lost its gold.
"This is pretty serious. But I suspect it will pale in comparison when Germany finds out that US spent its gold."
Yes, We cam.
"US denies Obama knew of Merkel spying: AFP" : This is evidence of the Limbaugh Theorem - Obama is never responsible. He didn't know nuffin'. No one told him. It was everyone but him. TEA Party quack quack... Bush blah blah...
By tomorrow James Carney will be saying Obama knew in 2010, but he didn't know in 2013.
On Tuesday, Baghdad Bob will be Carney's fill in.
carnival man carney will spin something up rest assured.
Help! I'm drowning in shit!
I hope they don't "leak" Angela's photos of her "unfuckable lard ass" weekend with Berlusconi.
Fools. Merkel grew up in Stasiland. She knows all about surveillance and espionage, foreign and domestic. No world leader doesn't act under the presumption of general all-pervading surveillance, least of all ones who've lived and held office in communist countries.
This is just more theatre.
Germany and France will begin bombing the US in fifteen minutes.
The wicked witch of the west had a crystal ball that spied on Dorthy and she had a head monkey that tormented the heros in The Wizard of Oz. if we only had a brain, if we only had the courage, if we only had the heart.
It's all bullshit until Germany kicks US forces out of their country.
This would create such a problem for the US. They would either have to take drastic measures, in which they would look like the international bad guys, or they would have egg on their face by accepting it and backing down. Which, in a way, would be just as bad for TPTB. Though mostly good for American citizens and their counterparts around the globe. It would be the first real step towards crippling the empire, as other nations would start demanding the same.
Next up. 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB AND FALSE FLAG. Say it Merkel! You know it's true! Gloves come off already!
The question is, has she been compromised and made subject to blackmail over one thing or another?
The ONLY thing the NSA and the Obama administration is sorry about is they got found out.
May Ed Showden live a long and fruitful life knowing he did some good in this world by showing everyone the true colors of the US.

The whole story doesn't add up.
I can't believe that the German govt was unaware that the NSA spies on every call/data/mail on the planet....c'mon....stupid they ain't.
There must be something else behind this....hopefully it will surface in the near future

U.S. spy program allegedly began in 2002, touched almost all areas of German government
BERLIN — Germany's Angela Merkel became Chancellor in 2005. But the American National Security Agency started spying on her three years earlier.
That's the latest revelation from the German magazine Der Spiegel, which has been revealing the depths of U.S. spying on Germany (as well as some other nations) through documents from former NSA worker Edward Snowden. There are conflicting reports about the source of the information for this revelation, with some members of the German parliament saying that government sources have suggested this information might not involve Snowden's documents.
The spy issue exploded this week here, when Merkel called U.S. President Barack Obama to ask for an explanation of reports that her cell phone - a vital part of her political persona - was being tapped.
Spying in Germany is particularly abhorrent, as within the last 70 years the nation has suffered under two autocratic governments that used internal spy organizations to terrorize citizens (the Nazi Gestapo and the East German Stasi).

Just as they all will use Bitcoin, and Litecoin for their covert operations
Which is worse for Barry: ignorance or complicity. The administration seems to prefer the ignorance meme. Stuck between a dog and a fire hydrant.
The USA is crawling with spies, criminal, industrial and political. 99% of them aren't Americans. I would appreciate NSA more if they cleaned up these blatant scavengers. Unless they lay down the law they are going to lose this fight.
