Like a number of politicians, Mr. Obama has said he is opposed to certain provisions of the Patriot Act. But when congress re-authorized it, he did not try to prevent that, because he evidently has come to believe that even with its flaws, it is a useful tool for keeping an eye on potential terrorists. Civil libertarians disagree with this assessment, however.

The Patriot Act was signed by President George W. Bush, as a response (some critics would say a reaction) to the events of September 11, 2001. It was a very controversial law, and to this day, civil libertarians and even many ordinary citizens feel it went too far and that it invades people's privacy. But other Americans approve of it, and believe it has provided law enforcement and the government with important tools that have kept us safe from terrorists. President Obama re-authorized the Patriot Act when it came up for renewal in 2011.
