How did edward snowden leaked details of nsa intelligence eavesdropping system established by president Obama in January 2009 just as he took over?

First, it is not accurate to say that NSA spying was "established by President Obama." Like it or hate it, the Patriot Act, championed by President Bush after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, permitted a vast expansion of spying and eavesdropping. It is true that President Obama did not curtail the program as much as civil libertarians would have liked, but he did not originate it.
As for Edward Snowden, he was a contractor for the NSA, and he seems to have had quite an incredible amount of unsupervised access to personal data. Snowden resigned from a job at the CIA in 2009, but he did not begin leaking any classified documents at that time. By most accounts, it was not until 2012, when he was an NSA employee, that Snowden began downloading documents and leaking them.
