Obama Plans Limits On NSA Spying But Provides Few Details

President Barack Obama promises that "I'll be proposing some self-restraint on the NSA" in an interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, according to Politico. However, the president provided few details on what form that would take.

The president also said the NSA is reasonable in the amount of domestic surveillance it conducts in terms of "not reading people's emails, not listening to the contents of their phone calls" but that the NSA's foreign surveillance needs to be curbed more.
