"The Snowden reveals keep coming out. The [Obama] administration is letting the NSA out to dry. They're letting the American tech industry out to dry," Andreessen said.
Obama could hardly be construed as letting the NSA out to dry. If anything, Obama has gone on record as having the NSA's back and making sure that they are protected from the consequences of their wrongdoing. Obama's pro-NSA actions are in stark contrast to his pre-election discourses on this topic. You'd think that he would love the opportunity to make good on one of his campaign promises rather than double down on the opposite as he's chosen to.
