He has already saved more jobs before being sworn in than barack Hussein has in eight years.
In February 2009 Obama went to Indiana to promote his stimulus plan, saying it would save or create 3-4 million new jobs, 80,000 of those jobs were right in Indiana.
A Republican opposed it on the House floor. "This backroom deal is simply a long wish list of big government spending that won't work to put Americans back to work. It won't create jobs."
This Republican congressman who said big government spending doesn't create jobs? Oh, he was from Indiana. Can you guess who he was?
That's right--Mike Pence, the guy you voted to be vice president. The same guy who just did a "backroom deal" to save 800 jobs. He said the type of government hand out that he had a hand in, doesn't create new jobs.
Carrier just showed corporations how to beat Donald Trump :”We need a president who can stand up to big corporations, not fold to their demands.”
Today, about 1,000 Carrier workers and their families should be rejoicing. But the rest of our nation’s workers should be very nervous.
President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly announce a deal with United Technologies, the corporation that owns Carrier, that keeps less than 1,000 of the 2100 jobs in America that were previously scheduled to be transferred to Mexico.
In exchange for allowing United Technologies to continue to offshore more than 1,000 jobs, Trump will reportedly give the company tax and regulatory favors that the corporation has sought. Just a short few months ago, Trump was pledging to force United Technologies to “pay a damn tax.” He was insisting on very steep tariffs for companies like Carrier that left the United States and wanted to sell their foreign-made products back in the United States. Instead of a damn tax, the company will be rewarded with a damn tax cut.
Wow! How’s that for standing up to corporate greed? How’s that for punishing corporations that shut down in the United States and move abroad?
In essence, United Technologies took Trump hostage and won. And that should send a shock wave of fear through all workers across the country.

U.S. economy added 178,000 jobs in November; unemployment rate dropped to 4.6 percent :The U.S. economy added 178,000 jobs in November, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent, a level not seen since August 2007, according to government data released Friday morning. The first employment report since voters went to the polls last month shows an economy in strong shape as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.
The November jobs report was also one of the final snapshots of the economy under Obama's administration. The picture was dramatically different from Obama’s first months in the White House, when the private sector was shedding roughly 800,000 jobs a month and the unemployment rate was at 10 percent.
