President Obama concluded his NSA speech during which he justified many of the government’s spying programs, and many on Twitter pointed out that Obama’s words today would have been disliked by the Obama of a few years ago:
I would love to go back to 2007/8, show early Obama backers this speech, and then collate their reactions in a video.

I'm old enuf to remember when Obama and his media would've described this Obama speech as fascist and un-American.
