Barack Obama

And by the way, with respect to my concerns about privacy issues... I will leave this office at some point, sometime in three and a half years, after that I will be a private citizen. And I suspect that, on a list of people who might be targeted so that somebody could read their emails or listen to their phone calls, I'd probably be pretty high on that list. So its not as if I don't have a personal interest in making sure my privacy is protected. But, I know that the people who are involved in these programs, they operate like professionals. And these things are very narrowly circumscribed. They're very focused and in the abstract, you can complain about "Big Brother" and how this is a potential, ya know, program run amok. But when you actually look at the details, I think we've struck the right balance."
