Yet another proud moment in Obama’s foreign policy. US officials have been expelled from Germany because of Obama’s spying. Now, I’m not going to bash Obama for spying on other countries, that’s what we do, but you would think he could at least spy on dangerous countries instead of Germany. Do they pose any threat to this country at all? Not since WWII.

Germany’s government has asked America’s top spy chief stationed in the country to leave.
It’s a punitive gesture usually reserved for adversarial nations in times of crisis and only very rarely for an ally, particularly a very close one.
But allegations of American spying have seriously injured German trust, Chancellor Angela Merkel has said. And it’s time for a reset.
Germany let loose the diplomatic slap, reminiscent of a Cold War rebuke, after news of two new possible U.S. espionage cases broke back to back in a week’s time.
Two Germans — one working at a German intelligence agency, the other in the Ministry of Defense — are suspected of spying for the United States.
