This is another case of blame the black guy, an ancient tradition in the USA, where when something goes wrong, a person of some African heritage is accused of the problem. At present the blame is being switched to Moslems, but that won't hold, blame the black guy will return. But in any event, we have a Moslem president of some African heritage, so, well, perfect. O! And a black guy for AG, too...
I have no sympathy for Pres. Obama since he had to know that his election was about setting himself up to take the blame for Bush policies, and to advance programs that would suit Pres. Hillary that she could enjoy but blame on the black guy. Eight years of Stepin Fetchit, then unimaginable riches thereafter. If you do not believe this, you have no idea who you are up against. (And what, you would not take the deal?)
Blaming Pres. Obama for the ubiquitous spying is rather silly. The United States Postal Service was originally formed by Ben Franklin, and became a cabinet level office in 1792... yes, Seventeen Ninety Two. What is so important about delivering the mail that the government has to do it? Well, since all communication back then was by mail, and all periodicals were delivered by mail, by making a government monopoly on mail the Federal Govt could spy on every American. Folks, this stuff goes back to 1792! And we are just getting around to realizing it? And we blame the black guy for Ben Franklin's innovation? We Americans are a whimsical bunch!
To this day periodicals get a massively subsidized rate. How come? To wipe out any competition in delivery, so all periodicals go through the USPS. Since all distribution goes through the USPS, the USPS has inspectors that can read anything written. To get these low rates, the publisher has to prove they have paid subscribers. How do they prove that? They provide the USPS with their subscribers list. So the govt always knew who was reading Newsweek and Anarchy Today magazines. School catalogs get cheap rates, which allows the govt to track who is teaching what.
Of course, the USPS can and does stop anything the govt does not like from getting delivered. This also has a chilling effect on what gets published.
Once America learned to create credit from nothing, the powers-that-be could start misallocating resources to actually producing content for Newsweek and Anarchy Today magazines. And so now most content in most periodicals is no more than tweets from a govt office upon which a "reporter" slaps a by-line.
On the other hand, the rules, as usual, provide a system to be gamed. The New Yorker gets the cheapest mailing rates by including "goings on in New York" the coming week for a magazine mailed all over USA at news rates. To this day I benefit on super cheap media rates shipping my books. One reason the USPS is going broke is because it loses money shipping my books, and Amazon's too.
What the internet has done is before the govt only knew you were reading Anarchy Today, they did not know what you think about what you read, now they know what you think. Your blog posts, tweets, facebook and emails self-report to the State.
Young Zuckerberg and Brin claim they know none of this, which of course is sheer nonsense. They went to the same Johns Hopkins youth camp where future leaders are groomed to take over the commanding heights. Both Google and Facebook are USA intelligence gathering assets which is why China does not allow them and Europe keeps suing both so through "discovery" they can figure out what Uncle Sam is up to.
Yes, Uncle Sam has a record of everything you ever did on the web. But we knew that back in 1988. It has been repeated a million times. Now it is a scandal?
No, you are not being targeted with someone watching you. But yes, absolutely every moment in your life is being recorded one way or another. Why? Because they can, and it is inexpensive with the infrastructure in place, and if and when the State needs to target you, they can and will find more than enough facts on you to destroy you. No of us can withstand full disclosure.
And for this reason, there are no judges, congressmen, generals or anyone else who can stand up to the "powers-that-be." Yes, there are no more plane wrecks or lone gunmen to worry about, just the Petraues exposure things. Just as good as as bullet, but without the conspiracy industry. No doubt about it, he was banging the other officer, the other man's wife. End of his military life.
This is nothing new either. We all think that police officers back each other up out of honor and sacrifice or whatever. No, cops back each other up because almost all cops maintain files on some other cops, one way or another. Like us, they have all done something wrong. Other cops look the other way if only to have something on other cops. If one cop turns on another, others will go down. This is why no where in USA is there independent citizen review board of police action. A citizen review board might rule justly and send a cop to prison. He won't go without taking six others. Hong Kong has a version, the ICAC, which focusses on anyone in any office. It works pretty well.
People are ticked off. That is the dangerous part, for if it gets violent, it will only get worse. There is a way out, and that is independent truth commissions. Something like the ailing Nelson Mandella put in place. Where anyone who confesses a crime is immune from prosecution for that crime.
But to do that we'd have to end the experiment of the United States, just like the South African system ended. Rough going, that. That is not going to happen. Opium is the religion of the masses, and they are not going to give up their daily fix of facebook. To those for whom reality is a crutch because they cannot handle religion, well, you are in a fine mess: government is chaos and there is no god. Ouch! For me, I will go to Mass today and beg God to deliver me, yet fear His just punishment.

Second Update:
O dear, the leakmeister Snowden was, like me, a Ron Paul supporter. I learned as a Ron Paul delegate to the Washington State Convention in 2008 that all violence in USA originates and proceeds from the political parties themselves. The election fraud was rampant and open. It has been no surprise as we learn these last few weeks that the government employees themselves participate in the fraud efforts, something I understood in the early 1990s when AOL and Compuserve IRC rooms were stuffed with government employees killing time. It also became clear the Microsoft's fortunes were tied to the growth of government.
Truth commissions. They help the guilty too, who want freedom from their crimes.

He has had "a very comfortable life" that included a salary of roughly $200,000, a girlfriend with whom he shared a home in Hawaii, a stable career, and a family he loves. "I'm willing to sacrifice all of that because I can't in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building."Well, if the Chinese get him, he'll never be heard from again, if the US gets him he'll never be heard from again... I doubt Iceland can protect him... and Hong Kong cannot as long as there is a US Consulate there... but I understand completely, since the daughters of Afghani villagers are not safe from the USMilitary my daughters are no safe. I don't want to live under that regime either. I won't kill to change anything... but God's patience with USA is not approval.

So Ben Franklin formed the federal postal service for the intention of spying on Americans? Where is the evidence for this assertion? Maybe I should have read some of his biographies more closely.
Regarding these various scandals, government can be incompetent in just about everything it tries to do - that includes scandals and attempts at controlling and oppressing its citizens. The NSA data collection scandal did not stop the Boston marathon attack (unless of course the attack was some kind of bizarre, misguided NSA/FBI entrapment operation gone wrong). The attackers were known to use Facebook, and most likely cell phones. So, if the NSA was wrongly collecting massive amounts of personal data, they failed miserably in detecting and stopping the attackers. Government can be incompetent in oppressing its citizens.
Let me know what you find when you read his biographies. Ben Franklin created the first postal service, a private affair, to make money. When the government took it over they introduced the subsidies to effect spying. Ben Franklin would have never given subsidies, because he could not afford it. Like all these wicked things, it takes fleecing taxpayers to make it happen.
