Parent comment expresses incredulity at Obama's comment on the topic being discussed in the thread.

I point out said comment is perfectly in line with the policies implemented by Obama and his administration during his two terms and OP's incredulity is unwarranted.

Not sure how that's OT or inappropriate but furry muff, HN works in mysterious ways.

You would be better off having picked examples that are closer to the topic at hand.

Such as the fact that he voted for retroactive telecom immunity as a senator, supported increases in NSA surveillance as a President, and certainly signed off on the extraordinary measures taken to try and apprehend Snowden.

His stance on surveillance is clear. He has strongly supported it since 2008. (Before he was the Democratic nominee he spoke out against it.)
