I'm a US Citizen, natural-born and raised, dammit. And it's a distinction that makes a difference to me.
Apparently, though, "US citizenship" is an antiquated device; a relic from an earlier age when Obama's "Founding Founders" were all racists who never embraced or never could have conceived of the transnational "world without borders" view favored by our current President and the creepy, neo-totalitarian progressive radicals that prop him up.
Here is the Obama White House attempting to quell concerns over the intrusive reach of his NSA/Prism operations. Note the terminology:
President Obama: "If you are a U.S. person, the NSA cannot listen to your telephone calls and the NSA cannot target your emails."

Got that, you US person, you? You're totally safe and all.
Here was my Twitter reaction to it, after spending some time in contemplation of the President's semantic change:
I bet the Founding Founders are proud to have created a country full of US persons. Whoever they are.

Isn't construction "US persons" revealing? I think it's an Obamaism to cater to illegal aliens...an "inclusive" phrase for non-citizens.

That's further proof of Obama's disdain for America/Americans. He'd rather reinvent the language than stand for concept of citizenship.

Guess that leaves him out.
Debatable as to whether he’s a “U.S. person”.
His Mom apparently screwed that up. Tuff luck, but he seems to have gotten past it.
This US Person stuff is a degradation of language to further their spying justification.
US person would include bo, who is not a US Citizen.
...Don't leave Chicago without it.
2) Obozo is a liar when he stated that the NSA cannot target my emails. In fact, the only emails, phone calls, or internet activity that Obozo's administration appears to be interested in are those of U.S. CITIZENS! Otherwise explain how the failed to stop the Boston bombers?
This is like his “my muslim faith” slip. Who slips up on such a fundamental thing?
Who talks like that other than a foreigner?
And just how does one determine a person's "U.S. personhood"?
(Maybe they'll put the guy who checks voter ID in charge of that.)
Exactly. Obama the “citizen of the world” vs. American.
Central and South Americans supposedly are insulted by “U.S. Persons” using the term Americans. “United States-ers”?
But only someone alien from a true American experience and childhood would speak this oddly.
Ignorant Americans that don't understand Executive Order 12333 signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981 governs intelligence oversight.
U.S. persons include: a citizen of the United States; an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence; an unincorporated association with a substantial number of members who are citizens of the U.S. or are aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence; or, a corporation that is incorporated in the U.S.
We are just serfs wandering through King Obamas domain.
Ok, so if one puts on one’s Multi-cultural-colored-glasses for a moment, what sounds better....Scottish-American, or Scottish-U.S.-person. Whew, ugly stuff so early in the morning. Sort of goes against the multi-cultural grain, doesn’t it? What are they thinking?
