President Obama was not clued in to the National Security Agency’s program spying on 35 world leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, officials say, and the White House halted her phone tap and some other monitoring programs after learning of them.

And anyone who believes this deserves to have him as preident
the title says it all
and we voted him in 2x
and we got change= thats all that is left
can we afford the affordable care act? does anybody care?
if you believe this one, i have a bridge to sell you…

when will people understand the difference between a organizer and a leader??? An organizer assigns people to do things and they get the results later, a leader is always hands on and wants results when they come in so they can take action when necessary. This is why Lobama gets information later because he is an organizer not a leader, get it????
