Remarkable how much abuse can be heaped on a person when they decide to do the right thing. It's truly poisonous partisanship at its most vehement.
No. Obama is not doing the right thing here. He is putting lipstick on the pig. The only thing that will change is that the cost of the pig will go up.

The phone companies may need to lease the NSA data storage center in Utah.
And, um, hire some NSA workers to run it . . .

Second verse, same as the first. Ain't nothing changing, but if the Republicans win the White House and both chambers of Congress . . .

Ain't nothing changing.

And if/when the Pubbies get in, the only thing that will change is the color of the lipstick. Get that awful commie red off right now! Now slap on a fresh coat of this patriotic red . . .

talk is cheap. I'll believe it when it stops, which it never will....even if the POTUS says it will, the NSA will just tighten up their vetting process and cover their tracks better.
