I doubt that he hates the NSA. Like me, he would just like to see the NSA comply with, obey and follow the Constitution. They aren't right now.
Here is the recording of the press conference held by the mature and experienced NSA whistleblowers that followed the Obama speech on the NSA changes.
These guys are mature and know the technical aspects of what they are talking about.
The recording is long, but every word of it is enlightening and worth listening to.

Interestingly they say that Obama keeps referring to the 'program,' but point out that the NSA has many programs. They say that the NSA is definitely capturing not just metadata but also the content of our calls and communications, a fact they claim is proved by the size of the building being constructed in Utah to house the data they are collecting. It is too large, much too large to just be intended for holding metadata without all of the content, they say.
It is extremely interesting.
