Former President Barack Obama has been secretly advising the Biden administration for several months, heightening concerns the ex-commander-in-chief is actually running a third-term shadow government with his former VP at the helm.
News of Obama’s work with the Biden White House was revealed Friday by NBC News:
WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama quietly advised the White House over the past five months on its strategy to address artificial intelligence, engaging behind the scenes with tech companies and holding Zoom meetings with top West Wing aides at President Joe Biden’s request, according to aides to both men.
The joint effort culminated Monday when Biden signed an executive order establishing some government oversight of AI development. It’s the first time Biden has tapped his former boss to help shape a key policy initiative, aides said, and he did it because Obama shares his views on the issue and brings a certain heft that could help move the process along quickly.
Social media swiftly criticized the news, with many asserting it proved what has long been claimed about Biden’s presidency – that it essentially serves as Obama’s third term, a cunning circumvention of the US Constitution.
