Obama Urges Americans to Give Trump "Room" to Adjust to Presidency
------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as President Obama said he was encouraged by Donald Trump's
election night speech and urged Americans to give Trump the room and
space to make his Cabinet appointments and to get adjusted to the White
House.

President Barack Obama: "What I also discussed was the fact that I had
been encouraged by his statements on election night about the need for
unity and his interest in being the president for all people, and that
how he staffs, the first steps he takes, the first impressions he makes,
the reset that can happen after an election, all those things are
important and should be thought about. And I think it's important to
give him the room and the space to do that."
