As usual. Hussein Obama was caught flatfooted. So, he could have had his mouthpiece say, “all nations do it – including those who are pointing their fingers at the USA”, and left it at that.
This whole thing is just a show. It’s not a surprise that allies spy on each other. I’m sure they’re spying on us too. That’s the way the world works and that’s the way it should be!

All nations spy on each other.
