I officially apologize for supporting Obama...

[DavidLeeNatra]

Not that I think Romney or McCain would have made anything better...but what this motherfucker and your totally fucked up and paranoid regime does is against ANYTHING what your founding fathers stood for. take your bill of rights and wipe your ass with it as you don't give a fuck about human rights spying on your allies and your so called befriended nations and their governments.

and here is one for the NSA filters scanning our forum as it scans everything we do on the WWW:

FUCK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!

leader of the free world my ass...the land of the free my ass...you are nothing better than that chimpy Bush and his GESTAPO homeland security madness...you MAKE terrorists, you create hate and fury against your country and your people. So if I haven't mentioned it:

FUCK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!

Geez DLN, tell us what you REALLY think! lol

I'm guessing this has something to do with the recent revelations that the NSA has been snooping around on Angela Merkel's phone.

Angela Merkel's Cell Phone Tapped By NSA? U.S. Accused Of Spying On German Chancellor

By GEIR MOULSON and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG 10/23/13 03:20 PM ET EDT AP

BERLIN -- BERLIN (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel complained to President Barack Obama on Wednesday after learning that U.S. intelligence may have targeted her mobile phone, saying that would be "a serious breach of trust" if confirmed.

For its part, the White House denied that the U.S. is listening in on Merkel's phone calls now.

"The president assured the chancellor that the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "The United States greatly values our close cooperation with Germany on a broad range of shared security challenges."

However, Carney did not specifically say that that U.S. had never monitored or obtained Merkel's communications.

The German government said it responded after receiving "information that the chancellor's cellphone may be monitored" by U.S. intelligence. It wouldn't elaborate, but German news magazine Der Spiegel, which has published material from NSA leaker Edward Snowden, said its research triggered the response.

Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement the chancellor made clear to Obama in a phone call that "she views such practices, if the indications are confirmed ... as completely unacceptable."

Merkel said among close partners such as Germany and the U.S., "there must not be such surveillance of a head of government's communication," Seibert added. "That would be a serious breach of trust. Such practices must be stopped immediately."

Carney, the White House spokesman, said the U.S. is examining Germany's concerns as part of an ongoing review of how the U.S. gathers intelligence.

The White House has cited that review in responding to similar spying concerns from France, Brazil and other countries.

U.S. allies knew that the Americans were spying on them, but they had no idea how much.

As details of National Security Agency spying programs have become public, citizens, activists and politicians in countries from Latin America to Europe have lined up to express shock and outrage at the scope of Washington's spying.

Merkel had previously raised concerns over the electronic eavesdropping issue when Obama visited Germany in June, has demanded answers from the U.S. government and backed calls for greater European data protection. Wednesday's statement, however, was much more sharply worded and appeared to reflect frustration over the answers provided so far by the U.S. government.

Merkel called for U.S. authorities to clarify the extent of surveillance in Germany and to provide answers to "questions that the German government asked months ago," Seibert said.

Overseas politicians are also using the threat to their citizens' privacy to drum up their numbers at the polls — or to distract attention from their own domestic problems. Some have even downplayed the matter to keep good relations with Washington.

After a Paris newspaper reported the NSA had swept up 70.3 million French telephone records in a 30-day period, the French government called the U.S. ambassador in for an explanation and put the issue of personal data protection on the agenda of the European Union summit that opens Thursday.

"Why are these practices, as they're reported — which remains to be clarified — unacceptable? First because they are taking place between partners, between allies, and then because they clearly are an affront to private life," Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the French government spokeswoman, said Wednesday.

But the official French position — that friendly nations should not spy on each another — can't be taken literally, a former French foreign minister said.

"The magnitude of the eavesdropping is what shocked us," Bernard Kouchner said in a radio interview. "Let's be honest, we eavesdrop too. Everyone is listening to everyone else. But we don't have the same means as the United States, which makes us jealous. "

The French government, which until this week had been largely silent in the face of widespread U.S. snooping on its territory, may have other reasons to speak out now. The furor over the NSA managed to draw media attention away from France's controversial expulsion of a Roma family at a time when French President Francois Hollande's popularity is at a historic low. Just 23 percent of French approve of the job he is doing, according to a recent poll.

In Germany, opposition politicians, the media and privacy activists have been vocal in their outrage over the U.S. eavesdropping. Up until now, Merkel had worked hard to contain the damage to U.S.-German relations and refrained from saying anything bad about the Americans.

Merkel has said previously her country was "dependent" on cooperation with the American spy agencies — crediting an American tip as the reason that security services foiled an Islamic terror plot in 2007 that targeted U.S. soldiers and citizens in Germany.

In Italy, major newspapers reported that a parliamentary committee was told the U.S. had intercepted phone calls, emails and text messages of Italians. Premier Enrico Letta raised the topic of spying during a visit Wednesday with Secretary of State John Kerry. A senior State Department official said Kerry made it clear the Obama administration's goal was to strike the right balance between security needs and privacy expectations.

Few countries have responded as angrily to U.S. spying than Brazil. President Dilma Rousseff took the extremely rare diplomatic step of canceling a visit to Washington where she had been scheduled to receive a full state dinner this week.

Analysts say her anger is genuine, though also politically profitable, for Rousseff faces a competitive re-election campaign next year.

David Fleischer, a political scientist at the University of Brasilia, said since the Sept. 11 attacks Brazilian governments knew the Americans had stepped up spying efforts.

"But what the government did not know was that Dilma's office had been hacked as well," Fleischer said.

Information the NSA collected in Mexico appears to have largely focused on drug-fighting policies or government personnel trends. But the U.S. agency also allegedly spied on the emails of two Mexican presidents, Enrique Pena Nieto, the incumbent, and Felipe Calderon.

The Mexican government has reacted cautiously, calling the targeting of the presidents "unacceptable." Pena Nieto has demanded an investigation but hasn't cancelled any visits or contacts, a strategy that Mexico's opposition and some analysts see as weak.

"Other countries, like Brazil, have had responses that are much more resounding than our country," said Sen. Gabriela Cuevas of Mexico's conservative National Action Party.

Yet Mexico has much-closer economic and political ties to the United States that the Mexican government apparently does not want to endanger.

Beyond politics, the NSA espionage has been greeted with relative equanimity in Mexico, since the government has had close intelligence cooperation with the United States for years in the war on drugs.

"The country we should really be spying on now is New Zealand, to see if we can get enough information so the national team can win a qualifying berth at the World Cup," Mexican columnist Guadalupe Loaeza wrote.

The two rivals play Nov. 13.

wait a minute..... since I'm technically a head of state (if you want to consider Hell a "state"), does this mean I should be worried?

[ashstralia]

We have a running joke here... Whenever I ring my mates we always say g'day to the boys and girls in I.A. (Internal affairs) I'm sure they get a laugh out of it...

[DavidLeeNatra]

Every mail on this planet should have the words "kill the president" "nuclear suicide bombing in NYC" and "shove up a dildo up Michele's ass and put it on al jaseera" in it. so the NSA - server get a massive overload!

[fraroc]

To be honest, even though I can be pretty liberal, I was never a big supporter of Obama. It did annoy me that the only reason why he came out for gay rights was to get the LGBT vote, just like how he got the black vote simply for being African American. He definitely manipulated the gay community into supporting him because he knew that Romney and Santorum were both homophobic cunts.

The Kenyan Houseboy is a neo-Leninist communist. He has no respect for a nation that has been ravaged by wars, built one of the greatest economy's through manufacturing and product exports without any resources, and has the some of the worlds best food and F1 drivers.

Germany uses oil and that fact puts the whole country on his enemies list.

Fuck Ubama.

But I always thought he was a retro-Trotskyist!

[jacksmar]

It's amazing how Trotsky found Marxism a burden to his family at the hands of Stalin. But I guess your point, along with the other 99% is that it just depends on who's in charge of administering national socialism. And just like Natra figured out, Ubama will shit on anything and anyone that does not bow to his administration.

Ubama sent Tim to Germany to have her setup a short term stimulus. Merkel didn't go for it.
Ubama started bombing Lybia.Merkel didn't go for it.
Ubama gave her the freedom medal. Merkel saw through it.

Maybe Ubama is still pissed at his Brandenburg Gate slight. After all, we are dealing with pious and unlettered neophyte.

They have also replaced their nuclear power industry with solar to the point where their national grid is actually oversaturated with solar power and they have to rebuild it to handle the capacity.

But you forgot to mention that one, since it doesn't fit the teabagger talking points.

I omitted nothing and your understanding of energy is pathetic. If you're so worried about energy get the fuck off the internet.

You and Ted Bundy enjoy taking turns fucking Ted Kennedy's fat dead bloated carcass in your "pit of despair'.

I'm not worried about energy for my Most Unholy self.

My infernonet connection is powered by 666% locally self-produced geothermal energy. Hell's grid is doing just fine.

As for your bizarre sexual fantasies about what a Devil would do with guys named "Ted", please keep those to yourself. The gates of Hell don't swing that way.

You and Jerksmear seem to have a lot in common.....

Both of you believe in some really weird fringe right wing politics. And both of you seem to be preoccupied with thoughts of gay sex.

Does this mean Mini-Kiss will be opening for Elvis tribute bands in the near future?

No, it means neither of us are anti-American socialists...

[Nickdfresh]

I guess if you mean having his fucking head hacked open with an ice pick when you say "burden," I suppose that's one way to put it...

But I guess your point, along with the other 99% is that it just depends on who's in charge of administering national socialism. And just like Natra figured out, Ubama will shit on anything and anyone that does not bow to his administration.

You really ought to take a course on political science, and actually read the Communist Manifesto, because you haven't the first clue about any of it. What you bizarrely refer too as "communism" is actually Keynesian capitalism with gov't intervention in the market place. And Natra is coming from a place completely different than you are. I think his comments echo and agreement with Obama in social policies, it's the uber-spying and paranoid securocrat bullshit he could do without, and so could I. All countries spy on each other, but this is getting ridiculous. They don't need to be tapping the phone of a major ally...

Ubama sent Tim to Germany to have her setup a short term stimulus. Merkel didn't go for it.

Because the Germans are up to their asses supporting the Greeks and Italians! In any case, the Germans are far more "socialist" than we are by your silly definitions and Merkel is more in line with Obama than any American Republican in reality despite her being a conservative German...

Ubama started bombing Lybia.Merkel didn't go for it.

Um, no dude, he didn't actually. It was the British and French that pushed things forward along with the Italians. Obama initially wanted nothing to do with Libya but was forced into it by European and NATO leadership. I mean, dude, do you ever actually read real news? We hardly dropped any ordnance and were only involved with bombing at the very beginning...

Ubama gave her the freedom medal. Merkel saw through it.

I dunno what your hard on for Merkel is. She's far more like Hillary Clinton than Margaret Thatcher in reality...

Maybe Ubama is still pissed at his Brandenburg Gate slight. After all, we are dealing with pious and unlettered neophyte.

I dunno, but I recall Republican attack line monkeys parroting the "Old Europe" slight the Neocon assholes shot at the Germans and French over the Iraq abortion but yet turned out to be right on. Remember, Captain WMD's? Did you enjoy your crispy Freedom Fries?

I agree the spying thing was shit and idiotic and someone needs to put a serious check on the NSA. But don't be a hater, bud. One reason why your entire country wasn't a Stasi-run shithole of raped women was the USA. Everything in balance, my friend...

[DavidLeeNatra]

too bad the USA behave like a Stasi-run shithole...

[Nickdfresh]

I think the Stasi legacy is one of the reasons why Merkel was so particularly offended, and I agree with her. The NSA should be cut down and the FBI and CIA should be segmented and a new counterterrorist/counterintelligence agency should be created in America focusing on human intelligence and actual evidence of wrongdoing rather than casting a huge net...

[Nickdfresh]

too bad the USA behave like a Stasi-run shithole...

It's not that bad. I do condemn the spying and am ever more seeing Edward Snowden as a hero. But I think even Merkel would be offended at that statement for what she and her Eastern countrymen endured...

Still is!!!

It should be NO surprise that I'm no supporter of President Obama. What he has done is downright shameful. From spying on citizens in the USA to heads of states in other nations, the constant drone strikes on civilians, the covert wars on almost every continent I have to ask the question..."What did he do to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize?" Is this how the other "winners" conduct themselves?

I applaud the OP for stepping up and voicing their opinion. I'm positive it came with a thought out disgust that was simmering to the boiling point that ushered the words to be typed out.

One day perhaps we'll get a President that will unite this nation and return it to it's former glory. The entire "Us vs. Them" game that's been perpetrated on the US voters is over. The 2 party game is a fraud. They're BOTH in on the swindle. They're BOTH reading from the same playbook.
