During his presidency, Barack Obama oversaw the decimation of hundreds of thousands of U.S. manufacturing jobs. Now, without a hint of irony, the former president has unveiled his latest Netflix docuseries titled Working, in which he explores American jobs and the changing nature of work for millions of Americans.

Barack Obama stars in and narrates the series, which is set to debut May 17. In the trailer, which the former president released via Twitter on Thursday, he can be seen visiting families in their homes and places of work as they express their concerns about employment and their economic futures.

The only real job Hussein ever had was at Baskin Robbins — and he bragged about stealing ice cream for his friends.

“Obama”, “American jobs”, and “working” in the same sentence. You can’t make this s—t up.

This jagoff never did an honest day’s work in his entree life. What does he know about it?! If I subscribed to Netflix I’d drop them immediately.

Has Barack ever had a job? He’s been living off his pigmentation his whole life, I believe.

Netflix is already losing masses of customers over its password-sharing ban. Here's how it's clamping down around the world. I suspect that many are also feeling the squeeze of inflation and they are cutting the woke from their budgets.

The “Factory” show was very interesting.

Didn’t know Obama was on the staff that made it.

There was a big drop in manufacturing employment during the great recession as Obama entered office but for most of his tenure manufacturing employment grew.

All Employees, Manufacturing

I love crapping on Obama, but American manufacturing jobs were largely destroyed while George Bush 2 was president. Clinton is partially to blame for driving the negotiations to bring China into the WTO, but it didn't happen until Dec 11, 2001 under Bush, and with Bush's support.

Bush II sure didn’t do us any favors, either. To say nothing of Bush I and Clinton’s NAFTA.

Exactly!

When GWB took office in Jan 2001 there were 17.1 million manufacturing jobs.

When Obama took office in Jan 2009 that had catastrophically dropped to 12.5 million.

When Trump took office was at 12.3, having bottomed at 11.4 in 2009.

When Biden took office it was 12.1 million, having bottomed at 11.4 in 2020 during covid.

It is currently at 12.9 million.

I loathe that grifter, but in reality, no more than GWB2, Klintoon, Gruesome Newsom, Piglosi, ad infinitum.

Changing nature of work for millions of Americans.

Unemployment due to imported labor.

The U.S. is making centers for immigrants in south America.

Discussing American jobs without discussing tariffs is like discussing the weather and not mentioning the temperature outside.
