President Barack Obama explained why he's cautiously optimictic about President-elect Donald Trump during a Thursday press conference in Germany alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Obama said the "solemn responsibility" of the office and the "extraordinary demands" made on the United States "demands seriousness," and Trump will "figure out pretty fast" that the demands of the job are "not things you can treat casually."
"And, if you're not serious about the job, then you probably won't be there very long because it will expose problems," he said. "Even when you're doing a good job, even when you are attentive. There are so many things that come across your desk."
The president also acknowledged that Trump's victory was "perhaps" the biggest upset in modern political history.

He’s planting seeds for future conflict.
The really good thing is that Trump spoke graciously about the outgoing ....resident in chief...so tjat now any negativity coming out of this clown’s mouth makes him look doubly malicious.
My, the jokes just keep writing themselves as far as the Dems are concerned.
You were, you d*ckhead! And, fugged things up big time! Please, please just go away with your ears flappin'!
Obammy you WERE an incompetent goat F***er and you were there for 8 years so STFU asswipe!
This coming from the golfer-in-chief...
It was a shock to Obama because he’d never had a real job before. I mean, come on. Lecturer? Organizer? Senator? Your average kindergarten teacher has more experience at being on a rigorous schedule and having to exert yourself.
It’s soooo pathetic having to listen to one of the worst presidents of all time presuming to lecture the incoming president elect on how to do the job. You lost! Get out of the way and let a grown up take over.
For Obama it's been just a continuation of a classroom or faculty lounge academic exercise - one that didn't work out very well.
This is as good an example of why Obama will go down as the worse president in history. His blind arrogance has no boundaries.
This POTUS is a total penis with ears!!!!
He keeps pointing narcissistically to his approval rating -- which is a poll number and as such has been "adjusted" and massaged, like other poll numbers. Americans now know how to view the accuracy of polls.
That said, granted, Obama has many worshipful fans. It's clear he's been the subject of a cult of personality.
Demonstrate that you’re serious about keeping abreast of current events by learning about major events only “from the newspaper”.
I was just about to post this before I read your comment:) LOL
Obama cautions President-elect Donald Trump,
“And, if you’re not serious about golf”,
Yes, and he’d better not play any golf.
Some people think more of the presidency than it really is.
A position of service. Hopefully honorable service.
Therefore that makes the president, the head custodian and let us hope it does not go to his head.
I wonder if he lectures Michele like this.
Decided to post this instead:
“And, if you’re not serious about the job, then you probably won’t be there very long because it will expose problems,”
A not too deeply embedded smear cloaked as a noble hearted concern.
Says the Worst President Ever. Who would take any advice about leadership from this utter failure?
In reality, it’s Obama’s so called “legacy” won’t be around long.
His real legacy is authoritarian and failure.
