Not surprising. You have to remember this is the same administration that skull bashed the Bush administration for the Patriot Act (the precursor of which was written into place as early as 1995 by Joe Biden) but was willing and succeeded in making the military style police state even more powerful by law.

 

He was never against illegal wire tapping either. He promised he'd never spy on us in 2008. He lied about it. It wasn't even subtle. Any citizen not suspected of a crime would not be spied on. The NSA leaks proved he lied through his teeth. As it's seen been exposed that they keep track and record all of our messages and calls in a wide variety of databases.

 

He actually expanded all of this. To top it all off. In 2012 he signed the NDAA into power that included Indefinite Detention of any America citizen anywhere in the world by our military personnel and held indefinitely without a trial. So he has clearly shown he's above the rules and laws of the land.
