If that's the narrative you've crafted in your head, go with it. Had Obama given a serious indication that that's why he now supports such programs, then my opinion would be different. In fact, as someone who voted for Obama, I gave him a significant benefit of the doubt before he responded to the concerns of people like me with arrogant and dismissive BS.Or, because he started receiving daily briefings showing how horrible the world really is, he changed his notion of what needed to be done to protect the homeland?
There also isn't any indication that these programs are necessary for national security so your argument holds even less water.
