The problem is not just that the NSA is spying on Americans but also that the NSA is spying on countries and individuals that are absolutely no threat to the USA. And its also that the NSA have made the digital world a lot less secure in the process.
I don't have an issue if the NSA or any other spy agency is spying on the Iranian nuclear program or the North Koreans or any other genuine threat to the USA. I DO have an issue if the NSA is intentionally weakening computer software, standards, protocols and cryptography in order to do it and I DO have an issue if the NSA is gaining (or attempting to gain) back door access to computers, systems and networks owned by innocent parties in order to make that happen. (instead of going in through the front door with a properly obtained warrant to get the information they need)
