Wikileaks Accuses Obama of 'Thin-Skinned Vindictiveness'
Not happy about how the Snowden scandal is being treated
WikiLeaks has accused US President Barack Obama of "thin-skinned vindictiveness" after European governments denied airspace to an aircraft carrying Bolivian President Evo Morales because of suspicions it might be carrying US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden.
Julian Assange has also condemned the bugging of Ecuador's London embassy, where he is living, after Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino announced that a listening device had been found in the ambassador's office.

Under Bush, America was Robert Baratheon. Under Obama, it's Joffrey Baratheon.
But it's thin, multi-racial skin, so everyone is OK with it.
