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.

The press is holding back criticizing Obama right now because Obama still holds the power of the IRS over these people.

But a couple months after Inauguration Day, some of these "journalists" will out themselves.

And wait till Trump gets a full accounting of the secret shenanigans that went on under Zero. Exposing those corruptions will further rot his reputation.

But the first priority of Trump should be to stop the new Obama Foundation by exposing its aim. Liz has been gathering intelligence on this huge scam.

This from a "community organizer" and an 18 month Senator who mostly voted present. Sorry, Bambi, but the Presidency IS an on-the-job learning experience. The trick is to install the BEST people who know the system and learn from them.

You FAILED in that respect. You hired the worst people possible so as to follow your Socialist/Marxist/Muslim agenda. Then again, maybe you hired the best because you almost destroyed America. Time to slink back into your "community organizer" role and let America become the proud leader of the free world once again. There will be NO bowing from President Trump.

The biggie to me is the 20 million-plus illegals who aren’t otherwise on that immediately criminal deportation list. If just the outwardly dangerous ones end up going, the remainder will become Latin American-style leftist voters and condemn us to having a Latin American-style leftist country.

Even follow through on that will have to be carefully staged. That’s why Kobach as DHS will be IMO the big tell.

Oh, and Priebus makes me nervous, but I can see why there’s a short-term need for him.

But if Trump gives State to Romney, which would shock me, my RINO-subversive hackles will be up again.

He’s probably just asking Romney to help with finding vote fraud...;)

The Obama Foundation should be denied tax exempt status if they attempt to do that.

(HAT TIP POCONO PUNDIT)...Trump’s first priority should be to stop the new Obama Foundation by exposing its aim. There is a mountain of intelligence on this huge scam.

FREEPER ACTION: CONTACT CONGRESS HERE---http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Demand the Millenial Challenge Corporation books be opened....to determine the number of scams that have been perpetrated using our tax dollars.

NOTE: Hillary chaired the MCC as Secy of State.

====================================

BACKSTORY In 2008, the US State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) commenced a five-year, $697.5 million compact with the Kingdom of Morocco to reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth.

The State Dept's MCC compact invests in expansion of fruit tree agriculture (including olives, nuts, and dates), support for small-scale fisheries and fish- markets, enhancement of the artisanal sector in the city of Fes, and training for small-scale businesses across all these sectors,

.........with an emphasis on training for women and youth including literacy training.......

UPDATE In 2016, Mr O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco, targeted to "teach Muslim girls". The 100 million tax dollars are to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.

Michele, her daughters and her mother in Morocco's palace. Look at that
smile.....hundreds of millions of tax dollars to spend back in Chicago.

I wish he would STFU. His time is done but you can bet he will be opening his mouth every day to the eager press, complaining about everything Trump does. I saw where he wants to rebuild the dem party. Good luck with that, although I’m sure he wants Ellison to head it.

Well thank you for the observation, Mr. President. The citizens will not have to worry about the seriousness with which Mr. Trump is taking this responsibility because of the picks he’s already put out so early compared to other presidents. The funny daydreams and pictures in your head do not apply to reality in this case so that commentary is moot.

King Obama is a simple minded fool. This black communists Muslim is America's number one terrorists. We probably have well over 60 million illegals and most are communists and hard core Muslims. We will never be a Country worth living in safety and prosperity again.
