I'm not happy with this of course but I wonder if it is ILLEGAL. NSA is prohibited by law from monitoring domestic phone calls. The law may not necessarily prohibit monitoring phone records.

Be forewarned: If it is not illegal then the likelihood that "Bush did it" and "Clinton did it" and "Reagan did it" is very high. An easy out for Obama.

If it is illegal I would personally be very surprised that the management of NSA would go for it. Yes, we spy on the Brits and give them the info and the Brits spy on us and give NSA the info but that is, technically, not illegal.

But this is the Obama Administration. Heaven knows who is in charge now at NSA. I don't. If this really is a rogue operation by NSA then Obama has a expanded his list of scandals from 3 to 4 (and counting, stay tuned).

It could not possibly be the Benghazi Bimbo could it?

- Perhaps it might be the new unaccountable NSA honcho Susan Rice........

WHOA,WHOA, whoa ...... Bush (W) no only overseas intercepts, Clinton?, not likely, Reagan? NO WAY!

I have been a supporter of the patriot act...UNTIL NOW!

The moral depravity our country has fallen into means that laws like the Patriot Act can no longer be allowed. The camel's nose has become a rhino's horn. Camels, while they can be cantankerous, don't have anything close to the disposition of a rhino (”The animal's nearsightedness seems to urge the rhino to charge first and investigate later.”)

Not to minimize the severity of this revelation, but it's analogous. I'm fine with the sick and the elderly getting a good parking spot. BUT, we can't do the right thing anymore because there is no moral restraint anymore and EVERYONE wants a HC parking permit, and are getting them. “I have a hangnail and need, no DESERVE a HC parking permit.” I expected to see an elderly or handicapped (YES I MEANT HANDICAPPED!, see jungle, bum, etc.) person exit their vehicle, typically with help, and get into a wheelchair. Now, we see people exit their SUV (or monster truck) and RUN into the store.

I thought our government (because of our constitutional restraints) could be trusted with the Patriot Act to investigate only national security threats. I was WRONG! I should say stupidly naïve.

AGAIN, another example of the vision and providence of our founding fathers to include Article II, Section1, Clause 5 of the Constitution that only Natural Born Citizens can be president. They wanted the president to be “AMERICAN”. They were afraid of foreign influences by close family or cultural ties.

A man born in Kenya, living his formative years in a Muslim foreign country, whose parents and step father were Communists and radical anti-colonialists. Even when living in the United States as a youth, he lived in a state that had only been a state for a few years, hardly Iowa or New York.

“Love of country” for Obama that means “Love of Muslim countries” not America.
