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

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.

I love the way this mental lightweight now pontificates as if he is some great thinker and sage.

You got lucky and had lots of rich and influential backers, Obozo, and you did their bidding. You achieved very little on your own merits.

Thank God Obama was perhaps the laziest President of all time.Imagine what other leftwing mischief he would have conjured up had he not been playing golf and flying around on useless trips all the time.

Propagandist media TOTALLY covering for him
Huge black voter turn out
People believing by voting in a black man would prove we are not a racist nation (suckers)
Ding dongs who bought into “hope and change” and or folks who wanted “free stuff”
Backing of Soros and other evil entities

Limp noodle Romney as his opponent.

It’s not bizarre if you stop and think about it for a moment.

My take on this is that Bammy has only 60+ days in office, after which nobody will be listening to him any longer and his words will fall on deaf ears. The only reason anybody listens to the jerkwad in chief right now is because he holds the title of POTUS. Once Trump takes over, he won’t have the Bully Pulpit any longer nor an audience to preach to.

Wait until Trump begins cleaning house. I suspect we are going to learn all sorts of juicy details about what douches Bammy and Moochelle really are. Bammy knows his day of reckoning is coming.

The job can’t be too hard if it can be managed from the golf course.

Obama Warns Trump: If You're Not Serious About The Presidency, You Probably Won't Be There Very Long
 
Speak for yourself, zippy - you're in no position to warn anyone of a damn thing. Trump will crank out more work in a week than you did in your entire 8 years of occupancy, so shut the F up.

Obama will know Trump is serious when he gets served by Jeff Sessions with subpoenas, interrogatories, depositions and other discovery methods for his violations of Federal law in Not reporting Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

"you probably won't be there for long"

If Trump had said this about Hillary, the media would call it a veiled assassination threat.
