As an American, it's pretty sad. As if the rest of the world wasn't getting sick of us already. Let's stick our noses into everyone else's business all the time, start a bunch of wars for the obvious benefit of our corporations, crash the world economy (btw we're doing more derivatives trading again so expect another crash lolol), and now spying on every person in the world, US citizen or not.
On top of it, instead of our media telling us "WAKE THE FUCK UP AND LOOK AT WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING!!" they are saying "Gee, where will Snowden go next lol?!?! Ohh he's in Moscow now, neat!!!!"
I think the endorphin rush people get from receiving a Facebook message on their portable distraction device outweighs the negative feelings of the government spying on every aspect of our lives. People don't know what's happening two feet away from them, much less in their government or the world (besides what big media tells them).
We're sliding fast down a slippery slope while chuckling and playing Farmville on the way down.
