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.

Sounds like a subtle assassination threat by president lame duck barry . . . arrest him and lock him up with hitlary! lol
Supporters? He needs to worry about himself, he knew Hillary was using a private email and even sent her messages from his own private alias. I think there are a host of other things he did like releasing $$ to Iran and undermining our allies while aiding the Muslim Brotherhood, not to mention his whereabouts on 9/11 when Benghazi was over run.
He’s such a pompous ass
" It's OK Barry, to pretend you were a REAL president."
He should have a bigger belt buckle.
Insufferable Narcissist.
What Obama said:
“And, if you’re not serious about the job, then you probably won’t be there very long because it will expose problems”
What Obama meant:
“If you’re not serious about the job, you better have the entire media on your side to spin every story in your favor or you won’t be there very long”
And didn’t attend even half the national security morning briefings.
More gaslighting, these guys use Orwell like a playbook.
“There are so many things that come across your desk.”
Water hazard on 5, sand trap on 9.....
At his age it’s certainly possible that Trump might not want to be there for eight years.After three years,having experienced great victories in Congress,he just might hand over to Mike Pence.
....says the 4 yr old to the Master
Enemy islamist pig-dog with no one to pardon him.
Do people realize Obama never says anything meaningful? Wow being serious in the presidency what an incredible insight to share with the new president!
This from obozo? That’s just plain funny. Golfer in Chief
Serious like playing golf and going to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard????
From the slacker who’s days began at 10 am and ended around 4 pm everyday. Unless he was golfing.
Hey that’s not fair! He spent just as much time shootin’ hoops as he did golfing
I hope the governors of states from which Trump is selecting Repub senators for his cabinets are on board with replacing them with other good. Republicans.
