A Serious question?

Did the Obama Administration even TRY to save the Carrier jobs in Indiana?

I'm not making a claim either way, I genuinely don't know.

Update:

I awarded Phil the best answer award because he made a good faith effort to present the issue from the Democratic side without name calling and the usual BS that goes on in Yahoo Answers. I appreciate it.

But I really think this is a major loss of face for the Obama Administration.

    Do you really think a president has time to do things on such a small scale? No. This was all for show. If anything the governor of the state (also the current VP elect) should have been doing this. Not Obama.

    As this morning reports stated, Obama has meet with hundreds of companies like this trying to make deals to keep them here, it just didn't work out for whatever reason. The report was in showing us that what Trump did, Obama has done hundreds of times and really means nothing. In the scheme of things, it really doesn't but the symbolism of it, can't be beat. He said he was going to do it, and he did it.

    In June Obama was asked on a PBS show about Trump and Carrier, Obama response was to mock Trump claim and claim unless he had a magic wand it was impossible plan by Trump

    Remember Obama claim if your are a successful businesses it was just luck "you didn't build that" to businesses owners

    Regarding Trump's promises about the Carrier plant, President Obama specifically said, "He's going to bring these jobs back. Well, how are you exactly going to do that, what are you going to do? There's no answer to it."

    It turns out, there was an answer.

    But, with all of his liberal appointed intellect, Obama just could not envision the solution.

    Obama doesn't care about jobs and neither did Hillary. That's where the democrats lost the most. Obama thought it was funny that there were no "shovel ready" jobs. Libs love to push Obamas so-called job creation of 800,000 jobs. But they were all low paying unskilled labor jobs.

    If Obama gave all the money/tax breaks that Trump promised Carrier, the Republicans would have gone bat ___ crazy.

    Obama did save them. Trump is just trying to take credit for it because Mike Pence, governor of Indiana, actually deserves some credit for finally doing something about it, and trump supporters are dumb enough to take the lie all the way.
