Obama Warns Trump: If You're Not Serious About The Presidency, You Probably Won't Be There Very Long
Business Insider ^ | November 18, 2016 | Allan Smith

Posted on 11/18/2016 5:44:31 AM PST by Strategy

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.

“If You’re Not Serious About The Presidency, You Probably Won’t Be There Very Long”

Trump just nominated JEFF SESSIONS for Attorney General, so relax Mr. Obama, Trump is DAMN SERIOUS about the presidency. In fact, if I were you, I’d be much more worried about how to keep my supporters out of jail, once Sessions gets to work.

What a POS. Never seen anything like the undermining going on from the (p)resident and the lsm continuing to deride every move DJT makes regardless of what it is. They need to be very careful because those that watched them for the past 14 or 15 months are still watching. Guess what. You’re starting to PO even more people. Oh yeah. Thanks for the message to the protestors to keep it up there lyin’ king. You know, “I don’t think they should be silent.”.

Hey Obonzo! When Americans want any sh*t out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out. Shouldn’t you be packing?

If Obama had any intelligent advice to offer President-Elect Trump (and that is a really yuge IF), he should do it privately, instead of flatulating his condescension in public.

In addition to Hillary's crimes, another special prosecutor should be set up to investigate the crimes of Obama.

Obama was the one that was truly surprised at how much work was required of the President.

He's just projecting onto Trump how he, himself, really felt when he first won.

Trump is a workaholic. He's loving this.
