My Comment: If reports that President Obama was unaware of NSA spying operations against world leaders (who are also allies of the U.S.) are true .... this is then incredibly disturbing. Questions arise and speculation becomes rife .... was this NSA operation a rogue operations? Where was/is the oversight? Who authorized this spying operation .... and why? Who was being given this data? Why was President Obama not notified? I have a hundred questions .... but no one is giving and answers.
