'Shortly after reports surfaced in early
June that the NSA has been spying on Americans at home, President Obama
attempted to put us at ease, telling us that the government "is not
listening to your phone calls."
That, of course, has turned out to be a
blatant lie, but one in which the president, inadvertently, gave away
himself. In nearly the same breath he trying to convince us that his
NSA isn't monitoring our phone calls (and other forms of electronic
communication), the president defended the agency, saying his
administration needed to "strike a balance" between protecting our
constitutional rights to privacy and protecting the country.'
