Wait, wasn't it his own government which decided to spy on their own people ? Didn't he force his own country's companies to spy on his own people? I used to like obama a lot. Used to...
It would be funny if it wasn't the fact that deranged, warmongering nuts like Obama run America.
I wouldn't call Obama a warmonger - after all, a lot of his efforts went into undoing his predecessor's work, getting the military out of Iraq and Afghanistan, dismantling Guantanamo Bay, that kinda stuff. Any new operations started under his presidency were relatively small and in cooperation with other international armies in comparison.
How many countries have we bombed? We are re-invading Iraq, we are still in Afghanistan, we are now meddling in Ukraine which is utterly insane. Much of the weaponry ISIS is using was supplied by America under Obama, the defense Budget has grown under Obama, what metric are you using to disagree?
For all the down voters how about using some facts instead of more emotional knee jerks.

He also said he was against warrantless wiretapping during his campaign.

Carter replenished the national credibility account?
He's the only U.S. President in a long time to have no US troops deployed in combat, as I recall. Definitely since WWII, possibly WWI or earlier.
China is only trying to be upfront and public about things the US and Western countries have been doing in private for years. That is not to say I approve, (I do not) but my respect for Chinese authorities just went up a notch. The good thing about this is that it brings debate far more into the open and shines a light on some very shady policies.

Well, in reality, the two people that removed any remaining credibility left in the US foreign policy are George W Bush and Obama. Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice helped, though.
Come on, are Obama and W much worse than Reagan, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Rossevelt? The US will keep using up the last of its credibility year after year, and of course that just means it isn't.
"...the bulk of U.S. foreign surveillance operations are governed not by acts of Congress, but by a 33-year-old executive order issued unilaterally by President Ronald Reagan."
