Yes because Obama was ready to save all 2,000 Carrier jobs instead of Trump's measly 700-1,000 of them with his magic wand wasn't he...oh wait...

It shouldn't be up to any president to be trying to interfere with private businesses. Will Trump be doing this after his inauguration? Is he supposed to swoop in like a tangerine batman and stop the evil company from protecting their interests? Its ridiculous. He's supposed to be managing the economy in a broad way. Not doing direct interventions with individual companies.

If he really wants to save jobs he should be doing it through his policy. What he is doing now is trying to stop a dam from breaking by sticking his finger in the crack.

Well we'll have to see what he ends up doing once he is seated president as he did mention a 35% tax tariff for companies shipping jobs oversees and selling the produced goods on US soil. This Carrier Deal could just be some "publicity stunt" to show off Trump's promise but it doesn't change the fact that jobs were actually saved. Better to save some jobs than no jobs.
