Naivete is an arguable excuse for Obama's statements prior to his first election. But he continued his anti-surveillance rhetoric during his second campaign, and there is simply no explanation for that other than lying.

Did he? I can't remember that being an important issue at all in the 2012 election.

It wasn't at the forefront all that much, but he did say it and talked alot about how he was protecting our rights where Republicans weren't.
