I would interpret that as Obama casting himself in the position of an average citizen to garner a feeling of connection and trust.

I'm taking a wild guess, but I doubt that presidents get bumped down to "average dude" status by intelligence agencies after they leave office.

Isn't that exactly his point? After he leaves office, he will be very high on "List of people to snoop"?
