In June of 2016, the steelworkers union pleaded with Obama to intervene with Carrier to save American jobs. Obama's answer to the union was to say that those jobs were gone, and he said that there was nothing that he as President was able to do to save the jobs. I am sure that you have heard the latest news. Trump took a couple of days of effort and saved over 1000 American jobs at Carrier. It is really a shame that we did not have a decent President in power when Carrier first began to talk about moving to Mexico.
I have a simple question. President Obama (with the power, prestige, and influence of the office) either could not or WOULD NOT save those jobs. Which was it? Either he is terribly ineffective and therefore unable to do anything, or Obama flat DOES NOT CARE about American workers and made ZERO EFFORT. After all, President-elect Trump has much less influence and power, but HE CARES! To me, the overriding issue is that during his eight years Obama made no effort to save American jobs. Trump has already made much more effort with much, much more results than Obama, and he still has not assumed the office of President.
