Former White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said his old boss, former President Barack Obama, is worried about a lack of progress in Washington D.C.
"[He's] viewing it from a distance, where he's writing a book, but I think that he's genuinely concerned," Earnest said on MSNBC on Friday.
Earnest said Obama sees the White House and the federal government as "as an institution that could be used to advance the interest of the American public," and a lack of forward movement is a concern, "not just for the former president of the United States but Americans of both parties across the country."
With regards to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes — who has been accused of colluding with the White House on matters related to the committee's investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia — Earnest said the current administration should be disturbed by how that meeting has been perceived.
"For the White House, I do think they have to be concerned because it looks like they're trying to launder this information through the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Community — again to try to exonerate or at least defend the tweets of the president of the United States," Earnest said.
"What's problematic for the American people is that you have senior intelligence officials on the National Security Council that are not pouring over intelligence reports trying to figure out how to keep the country safe — they're poring over intelligence reports trying to figure out how they can defend an ultimately defenseless tweet that included a baseless accusation from the president of the United States," Earnest added.

Writing a book? You mean having someone else right it like he did when he was the “editor” of the law review. He intends to stay out of DC to avoid any process service. I’d love to see his ass before the arc lights with an actual grilling about his doings but alas that is only going to happen in my dreams inasmuch is he is protected by the dems, media and GOPe.
I see you can’t buy hacksaws in the prison’s commissary.
right equals write in my post. I cannot see straight when I write about that dolt.
His ghost writer is with him on the island. That’s the way it works. He essentially is interviewed day after day and the ghost writer uses the information to write the book.
Writing a book eh ?
So that’s what they call terdburgling on a south pacific beach now.
National Security Council that are not pouring over intelligence reports trying to figure out how to keep the country safe —
Judging from the story, Obama hasn’t weighed in. The article is premised on Earnest’s speculation.
Wiser men, like Seneca in ancient Rome, knew that progress is an illusion. So-called progress causes society to disintegrate because it softens people by catering to convenience, luxury and vice.
Ear Nest is just another paid liar.
Shut up,Obama,you are yesterdays news.
I think the only way he shuts up is if he’s buried.
Optimism is at a 20 year high, 93%, and Obama thinks there nothing happening??

Finally, some good news.
progress = socialism
If you add “genuinely” (or “honestly”, “truthfully”, etc.) to your statements, then you are not genuine.
