The NSA is proving to be relatively immune to Hope 'N Change®, and has far better things to do than serve as Agents of National Security:
According to the reporter who first broke the NSA wiretapping story, there is no proof the agency has scaled back its interception of the personal phone calls and email messages of American citizens as promised by the Obama administration or even that it is being straight with Congress about its activities.
James Risen and Eric Lichtblau revealed the NSA’s over-collection of data in an article for the New York Times on Tuesday, noting that one NSA analyst was even found to have been reading the private email of former President Bill Clinton.
...“It sounded like, from the former NSA analyst that we interviewed, that it was rare to access the emails of celebrities or famous people,” Risen stated, “but that it was fairly routine, according to him, for people to access the emails of girlfriends or wives or other people that they might know.”
So wives, girlfriends (or both!) and former Poti* are routinely monitored by the NSA, but at least trolling through celebrities' email is "rare".
See the whole damn thing here.
*Is there a plural of POTUS?
But Daddy, If they weren't doing anything wrong then they have no reason to worry.
