Barack Obama actually said...

"I hereby designate for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism all funding (including the rescission of funds)..."

"People around the world - regardless of their nationality - should know that the United States is not spying on ordinary people who don't threaten our national security."

"The United States only uses signals intelligence for legitimate national security purposes."

"We must maintain the trust of the American people, and people around the world."
