First of all, I would be SHOCKED if Obama would ever had approved such a thing as stealing vital secrets from the Soviets, who he openly supported as a college student during the 80s. Who his mentor, possible Soviet agent, communist Frank Marshall Davis, loved so much and was loyal to that he actually wrote poems glorifying the Red Army. Second, you are comparing apples to oranges. You don't seem to realize that the Soviet Union WAS the "evil empire", being responsible for the murder of some 20 million or more people living under their rule.
As I said, I would be shocked if he would have approved such a thing...

Obamas Red Mentor Praised Red Army

Frank Marshall Davis
Barack Obamas childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. Smash on, victory-eating Red Army, he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The Red Army poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!
