Barack Obama knew US spies were targeting Germany's Angela Merkel

The spying row between Germany and America is deepening, with fresh reports that United States president Barack Obama knew his country was monitoring the German chancellor's phone calls.

Germany received information last week that American spies had bugged Angela Merkel's mobile phone, prompting Berlin to summon the US ambassador, a move unprecedented in post-war relations between the close allies.

German magazine Der Spiegel is now reporting the US had been spying on Ms Merkel's phone calls since 2002, and that Mr Obama was told about the operation in 2010 but failed to stop it.

However, America's National Security Agency (NSA) denies Mr Obama knew about the spying.

"[NSA chief General Keith Alexander] did not discuss with president Obama in 2010 an alleged foreign intelligence operation involving German chancellor Merkel, nor has he ever discussed alleged operations involving chancellor Merkel," spokeswoman Vanee' Vines said.

That's the report coming from the German magazine. Point is, Obama knew ( much like Benghazi, and the O-care roll out ) and did absolutely nothing.

Style over substance, seems to be this admin's motto.
