What does Bush mean by 'ordinary Americans'?

Will some one nail Bush down on just what he means by ordinary Americans.

This man cannot be trusted.

Consortiumnews.com:

"Given George W. Bush's history of outright lying, especially on national security matters, it may seem silly to dissect his words about the new disclosure that his administration has collected phone records of some 200 million Americans.
But Bush made two parse-able points in reacting to USA Today's story about the National Security Agency building a vast database of domestic phone calls. 'We're not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans,' Bush said, adding 'the privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities.'
In his brief remarks, however, Bush didn't define what he meant by 'ordinary Americans' nor whether the data-mining might cover, say, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, just not 'millions.'"
