Citation needed. So far I haven't need Obama even imply that he doesn't actually want these programs. All that he has said or implied so far was that we need to accept the mass surveillance, because that would be a "balance" between privacy and security. He believes this is a the "balance" - regardless of its constitutionality (and so far the administration has done everything in its power to fight against cases that question the legality of it all).
Also, Dianne Feinstein explicitly said the Obama Administration wanted FISA Amendments Act to be renewed, too, when she asked Senate to renew it last year.
