Explosive Report: NSA contradicts Obama: Admits listening to U.S. phone calls without warrants, Edward Snowden’s claims confirmed

Even before we got to this point in Obamam’s presidency without any of these scandals, Obama has told a laundry list of lies to the American people from lying about Obamacare to his lies about class warfare. 

But, we do have these Obama scandals that only confirm what his character truly is—a dishonorable man that will say anything to get a vote and a dollar (see his stance on Gay marriage before and after 2012).    

The National Security Agency has acknowledged in a new classified briefing that it does not need court authorization to listen to domestic phone calls reports CNET. 

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, disclosed this week that during a secret briefing to members of Congress, he was told that the contents of a phone call could be accessed "simply based on an analyst deciding that." 

If the NSA wants "to listen to the phone," an analyst's decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required, Nadler said he learned. "I was rather startled," said Nadler, an attorney and congressman who serves on the House Judiciary committee. 

Not only does this disclosure shed more light on how the NSA's formidable eavesdropping apparatus works domestically, it also suggests the Justice Department has secretly interpreted federal surveillance law to permit thousands of low-ranking analysts to eavesdrop on phone calls. 

Because the same legal standards that apply to phone calls also apply to e-mail messages, text messages, and instant messages, Nadler's disclosure indicates the NSA analysts could also access the contents of Internet communications without going before a court and seeking approval. 

The disclosure appears to confirm some of the allegations made by Edward Snowden, a former NSA infrastructure analyst who leaked classified documents to the Guardian. Snowden saidin a video interview that, while not all NSA analysts had this ability, he could from Hawaii "wiretap anyone from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president."

This what Obama said about government surveillance: “When it comes to telephone calls nobody is listening to your telephone calls If they want to listen they got to go to a federal judge” As usual Obama lied to the American people as is his nature, like if you like your doctor you can keep him. Remember that one?
