Nine months after announcing plans to move more than 2,000 jobs from Indiana to Mexico, the Carrier Corporation said Tuesday evening that it had reached a deal with President-elect Donald Trump to keep nearly 1,000 of those jobs in Indiana.
Rarely in American history have presidents or presidents-elect intervened to pressure individual companies not to move jobs abroad. Had Obama sought to pressure Carrier not to move the jobs to Mexico, many conservatives would have undoubtedly attacked him for improperly intervening in the free market.
Ironic, or more like the greatest case of "bait and switch" ever pulled on the American people?
You have to understand that in the mind of a Trumpist, anything that Obama did was always bad; anything that Trump does is always good. There is no in between, it is always black and white. Otherwise their world begins to come apart at the seams.
This makes me laugh. A lot of us said this is the stuff he would do. And all the Trumpkins kept saying "Trump is gonna MAGA!!!! Drain the swamp!!! Fight globalism!!!! Yada yada yada...."

Yep. And unlike the Trumpkins, I don't blindly agree with a man I generally like and admire such as Obama. I was very angry with him when he bailed out the auto industry.

Angry for bailing out the auto industry?
I dare say all of American would have been a great deal more than "angry" had the auto industry been left to go bankrupt. You have no idea...
On the other hand..., maybe the NFL will do better under Trump...
Earlier this November, an NFL executive gave a fascinating, if bewildering, quote to Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman regarding the future of the nation’s most popular sports league under Donald Trump.
“Under President [Barack] Obama, the country was intellectual and looked at facts. I think that’s why our ratings fell,” said the anonymous executive. “People read a lot about our scandals or CTE and didn’t like what they saw. Under Trump, the country will care less about truth or facts. It’ll be [more raw] and brutal. Football will be more of an outlet. We’ll go back to liking our violent sports.”
On the campaign trail, Trump spoke out about his distaste for the NFL’s recent rule changes, made to prioritize safety and protect players from head injuries. In October, when a woman fainted at one of Trump’s rallies but returned after receiving medical attention, Trump declared, “That woman was out cold and now she’s coming back. See? We don’t go by these new, and very much softer, NFL rules. Concussion. Oh no! Got a little ding on the head. No, no, you can’t play for the rest of the season. Our people are tough.”

He can kiss any damn re-election goodbye if he is just to go "Obama it". Promise the world, and deliver NOTHING. The American people aren't going to be hoodwinked again and give a 2nd term to another liar
Why don't people follow through on s*** anymore??
He has not done anything yet, so stop with the melodrama.
