Is US spying on foreign governments Snowden revealed as bad as the domestic spying?

[yurbud]

So we spied on EU and other European governments, but is that the same as spying on your own people domestically?

It could also be than Snowden doesn't think this is as bad, and he revealed it to gain some sympathy from foreign governments to help him gain asylum somewhere.

1. a lot less bad

the domestic spying is truly dangerous, of all the things that people called for Bush's impeachment about, that was the one I thought was the most worthy of it.

The foreign spying is something that when people say "everybody knows we're doing it...", I agree with them. For example, Obama never promised not to do it. Nor anyone else. When Bush did it, and people complained, I never found it very compelling and it was never a major issue as far as I know.
