Sean Hannity is warning that data mining and surveillance are "very clear violation of the Fourth Amendment," a drastic change for the Fox News host, who was a loud defender of National Security Agency surveillance during the Bush administration.

Media Matters offers a look at Hannity on NSA surveillance, then and now.

President Obama's inauguration speech in January 2009:


"As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

Sen. Obama in August 2007:


"[The Bush] administration puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide. I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our constitution and our freedom."

From Sen. Obama's office in Dec. 2007 regarding his support of a filibuster of FISA:


"Granting such immunity undermines the constitutional protections Americans trust the Congress to protect. Senator Obama supports a filibuster of this bill …"

Sen. Obama in Jan. 2008, after threatening to filibuster FISA, spoke out against "wiretaps without warrants."

Personally, if President Obama could change National Security Policy from 1947, I'd be all for it.

But guess who would say No, call him weak, cut-n-runner and leading from behind ... yada yada yada
