Yes he did. With Mike Pence, his VP. SO if Trump says "two plus two equals four", are you going to say he's wrong? Are you that partisan?
"he hadn't even been sworn in yet"
Which makes it more impressive to me that he took the time to do that which Obama was incapable of doing.
seems you misssed this part The state of Indiana vowed to give the company $7 million in tax incentives over a decade, and the company agreed to invest $16 million in keeping the company in the state.
"Obama admitted that he had no way of saving these job of course they are a private company "
Obama passed his "stimulus plan" that gave huge $$ to private companies like Solyndra. Not sure what you rpoint is.
ARRA's primary objective was to save existing jobs and create new ones as soon as possible. Other objectives were to provide temporary relief programs for those most affected by the recession and invest in infrastructure, education, health, and renewable energy.
[COLOR="blue"]the old Solyndra angle who need to put down the kool aid?? Overall, the agency has loaned $34.2 billion to a variety of businesses, under a program designed to speed up development of clean-energy technology. Companies have defaulted on $780 million of that — a loss rate of 2.28 percent. The agency also has collected $810 million in interest payments, putting the program $30 million in the black. again fact dont matter /COLOR]
WDMSO, you need to evaluate these things a bit more fairly. Not everything that's liberal is good, not everything that's conservative is evil. Put down the Kool Aid and think rationally.

hows this kool aid
CBO and JCT estimate that enacting the American Health Care Act would reduce federal deficits by $337 billion over the coming decade and increase the number of people who are uninsured by 24 million in 2026 relative to current law.
Coverage and Premiums
The number of people who are uninsured would increase by 18 million in the first new plan year following enactment of the bill. Later, after the elimination of the ACA’s expansion of Medicaid eligibility and of subsidies for insurance purchased through the ACA marketplaces, that number would increase to 27 million, and then to 32 million in 2026.
Premiums in the nongroup market (for individual policies purchased through the marketplaces or directly from insurers) would increase by 20 percent to 25 percent—relative to projections under current law—in the first new plan year following enactment. The increase would reach about 50 percent in the year following the elimination of the Medicaid expansion and the marketplace subsidies, and premiums would about double by 2026.
