Obama lied to the American public by announcing in 2007 that "This administration puts forth a false choice between the liberties we cherish, and the securities we provide. I will provide intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our constitution and our freedom. That means no more illegal wiretapping American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do no more then protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient. That is not who we are." But in reality he expanded on it.
