President Barack Obama was told about monitoring of German Chancellor in 2010 and allowed it to continue, says German newspaper.
President Barack Obama was personally informed about secret US monitoring of Angela Merkel three years ago, according to latest reports on the eavesdropping affair.
The President allowed the National Security Agency (NSA) to continue spying on the German chancellor, it was claimed.
Mr Obama was told of the secret monitoring of Mrs Merkel by General Keith Alexander, the head of the NSA, in 2010, according to Bild am Sonntag, a German newspaper.
“Obama did not stop the action at that time but allowed it to continue,” a US intelligence source close to the NSA operation told the Sunday newspaper.
The White House later commissioned an extensive NSA dossier about Mrs Merkel, according to Bild....
The latest twists in the US spying scandal come after President Obama reportedly assured Mrs Merkel during a telephone conversation last week that he was unaware the NSA had been spying on her....

Thats a suprise. Barry is usually the last to know. He finds out just like us by watching it on TV. :-)
I have said it before, zero was specifically brought in to bring US down completely and utterly! The powers that be are tired of waiting and needed a candidate who was an angry black guy that could get away with anything due to “white guilt” of the libs!
The Obama administration will likely blame Bush if the article is correct in stating that the surveillance was initiated in 2002. Hopefully Hillary will be dragged into the quagmire, as she also should have been aware as Secretary of State.
I'm sure the liars at the New York Times will attempt to back the liars at the White House... They'll find a way to blame Bush...
Yes. Bill. The one who still runs the whole setup, and will kill you all.
If not stopped.
...was told of the secret monitoring of Mrs Merkel by General Keith Alexander, the head of the NSA, in 2010...
According to the article, it started in 2002. But Obama told Merkel he didn’t know anything about it, which is his standard response to everything.
How very true -- that's one way to put it.
Does this mean it’s NOT George Bush’s Fault???????????
FYI: Off topic ping to the list members!
No wonder he has enormous ears. He’s listening to everyone.
I doubt it. I would guess Obama started all the spying on our friends since he's so paranoid about everything.
Angela Merkel grew up in East Germany with its Stasi. IMHO, she has always seen him for the POS he is..
Thanks for the ping
