As always with Obama, it remains to be seen whether his words will be followed by any real corresponding actions.

Nailed it

That's actually a pretty good article.

I love honesty, it's so soothing.

It makes sense that hacks would avoid his articles like the plague.

Toleration is easier when new additions to our surveillance apparatus are "rolled out" in increments. Many people tolerate the Patriot Act today and will tolerate Patriot Act II, III, IV, and so on in the future as long as their trusted overseers tell them it's in their best interest.

I'm curious as to what you would not tolerate in terms of "privacy."

So since the FISA amendments cleared everything up you are against Obama ending the bulk data collection.

I don't think the changes he is making are necessary. I see it as a move to reassure the public. But from what I can see this does not end the "program". They are proposing changing the amount of time the data is collected and keeping the records under the control of the telephone companies. I think they envision putting in some kind of fasttrack controls to maintain a certain level of operation capacity. The devil will be in the details on this. I'm concerned how the proposed changes might impact the ability to have timely information that meets our security needs.
