Obama Offers 'Wait And See' Approach To Trump, But Adds He'll Be Watching
By Allie Malloy, CNN November 20, 2016
Lima, Peru (CNN)President Barack Obama in his final press conference abroad advised the world to "take a wait and see approach" for what a Donald Trump presidency may mean in terms of policy, but added that he would weigh in if the "ideals" of the country are called into question.
Obama, while speaking in Lima, Peru on the final day of his last trip abroad, spent the majority of his trip answering questions on what a Trump presidency will mean for international allies -- including America's influence globally.
Obama -- concluding the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Lima -- acknowledged that he wouldn't hesitate to play critic in a Trump presidency if "necessary."
"I want to be respectful of the office and give the President-elect an opportunity to put forward his platform and his arguments without somebody popping off in every instance," Obama said.
"If there's specifics that have less to do with some proposal or battle but goes to the core questions about our values and our ideals, and if I think that it's necessary or helpful for me to defend those ideal then I'll examine it when it comes."
The President also reiterated that while he "can't guarantee" that Trump won't pursue some of the positions he's taken on the campaign trail, the President said reality would "force" Trump to "adjust" how he approaches those issues in office.

Translation: he’s not going away. Exactly what Rush has predicted.
The gormless obama can’t seem to grasp that he’s utterly irrelevant.
He hasn’t been respectful of the office for the past eight years. Why start now?
In spite of all the predictions to the contrary, I say he isn’t going to stick around.
By summer he will have insulted Trump one too many times, and Trump is going to very publicly tear him a new one, and like the coward BHO is, he’ll be gone.
Knowing our luck, he’ll live to be as old as Jimmy Carter, and be a thorn in the side of several Presidents. Only the good die young, so Hussein will be around for awhile.
Just like Bush criticized him
Oh
Wait
Whatever. He’s just another vote after January 21.
He must have Trump confused with a president who will give a #### what he thinks or says.
a) Leave the country
b) Prison
FOBO
Trump is going to school this child and his team of kiddies on the playground.
So good, Obama will be watching, and learning because he won't be able to avoid it if he is watching.
America is about to find out what a blithering idiot he was, and the same for the fool what wanted to carry his idiocy forward.
Wait see and be amazed
He’ll be watching. Pffft. Who the hell cares. Who is he? He’s a loser. A nothing.
I watch my star pupil with pride from my place in the very depths of hell.
Hope gets gets mauled and this clothless fake emperor is exposed as nothing but an imposter and community organizer who achieved nothing and destroyed much of America.
Pompous-ass fop.
Everytime he speaks of Trump, it sounds like a threat.
With what Trump accomplishes I will predict that Obunga will be known as a “JOKE” to the American public within 12 to 18 months.
Maybe when Trump is President, he will have access to records showing that Obama registered as a foreign student for college, and then have him deported.
Threatening? Where does that come from?
Reminds me of when Libs claimed Trump was “threatening” Mrs. Clinton when he said she ought to get rid of her Secret Service detail and see what happens.
Don’t be like a Lib. Not everything is a threat. Use that term only for true threats.
