Flashback: Obama Mocks Trump for Promising to Keep Carrier Plant in U.S.
Grabien News ^ | 1 Dec 16 | Staf Writer

n June, President Obama participated in a PBS townhall and was asked about Trump's promise to keep Carrier's Indiana plant in the U.S. The townhall participant -- Eric Cottonham, a member of the Steelworkers Union employed by Carrier -- asked Obama if anything could be done to stem the tide of jobs flowing out of the country, as Trump had recently promised to do.

"I see here you’re doing a lot of things, but in Indianapolis, there’s nothing there for us," he asked. "I mean, what’s next? I mean, what can we look forward to in the future as far as jobs, employment, whatever? Because all of our jobs has left or in the process of leaving, sir.”

"Those jobs of the past are just not going to come back," Obama told Cottonham.

Instead, Obama advised workers losing their jobs to learn how to adapt their skills to "some of these new technologies," in particular, the "clean energy sector."

"Let's focus on those," he suggested. "The days when you just being able to — you just being willing to work hard and you can now walk into a plant and suddenly there’s going to be a job for you for 30 years or 40 years, that’s just not going to be there for our kids because more and more, that stuff’s going to be automated."

Obama also singled out Trump for derision, saying:

When somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I’m not going to advertise for, that he’s going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There’s — there’s no answer to it. He just says, “Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.” Well, how — what —

He is SO ARROGANT.

Barry Soetoro never cared for the US worker. Trump showed him up, even before he was inaugarated!

And the media, where have they been for the last 8 years! What a disgrace these vermin are.

God bless Donald Trump!

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was brought to you by BOTH parties.

The Constitution says natural born citizen.
That means one who is naturally an American because they couldn’t be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
Everyone in DC wanted that changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The Senate passed a resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents, even though he was born in Panama.
Then Obama runs and wins based on just being born here, even though he told us on his website he was born a British subject.
So the standard went from born here of citizen parents to just TWO citizen parents to just being born here in one election cycle without amending the Constitution.
According to this standard the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible, he was born in Cambridge MA.
This was done intentionally because Rubio (no citizen parents), Cruz (foreign birth, one citizen parent), Jindal (no citizen parents), George P Bush (one citizen parent) and Haley (no citizen parents) were all ineligible and the future of the GOP.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because they all cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

Did Barry ever have a real job?

Scooping ice cream in high school is about it.

He’s a loser.

Time for WINNING!

MAGA.

My brother has a Cornell MBA. Great man, my brother.

Years ago, before he even graduated from undergraduate college, I saw an article he was reading and highlighted in yellow (it may have been Newsweek or Time) about the new President Ronald Reagan.

It said "But despite all of this bad news, there is somehow a sense that things will get better. That growth will happen."

Trump will fuel the same explosion.

Obama didn't know how to do it. He was too stupid.

Trump knew how. His is a brilliant intellect.

The comparison between these two is obvious. One's brilliant. The other is a moron.

I would think by now that people would understand that obutthole is not stupid. He had a plan. He executed it. Extremely well. America is in shambles. Europe is in shambles. The middle east is burning.

The only thing he hasn’t been able to pull off is starting WWIII. The inauguration cannot come soon enough.

Remember how Obama met with Steve Jobs..?

“What would it take for you to make the iPhone in the USA..?”

“Impossible. It would take a different President. You are on-track to be a one-term President...”

He didn’t mince words AT ALL.

Yet?

Trump is about to pull THAT one off, too...!

This needs to go viral if it has not already. Trump is not even President yet he is already teaching Obama how to be President and Obama has been in office EIGHT YEARS!

No.

And now, he wants more Millions and Billions to fill his personal bank account through his own personal Crime Foundation - just like the Clintons.
