Whatevs, guys! He’s just a pesky hacker and stuff.

No, he's a leaker. RT @jonkarl: Interesting that President Obama calls Snowden "a hacker" — Is that what he is?

RT @danmericaCNN: Obama downplays Snowden's importance. "I’m not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year old hacker," he says.

Lame, Mr. President. Lame.

Twitter users call him out.

Stymied? "@AP: BREAKING: Obama says he won't engage in "wheeling, dealing and trading" to get Snowden extradited to the US
