Seriously, what did he do? I can’t remember anything he did.

He made sure the US was the #1 oil producer because republican oil magnates were paying to smear him. So there’s that.

Yep, this right here. This was seen as a good thing by all the “sane” political people because it got America off “foreign oil dependence” because the spectre of the OPEC embargo is still rattling around the geriatric heads of those in charge.

He was basically a wash. Some decent regulations over his 2 terms, but also he expanded pipelines.

Better than Trump and Bush on this particular issue, but thats a very low bar.

I wish people would bring up real answers like this more than just one-sided bashing

You don’t need to cherrypick, he was still shit even if you include the „good“ things he did

No need to omit information to make a point when the full story still agrees with you

He used extreme violence to crush the Standing Rock blockade, allowing the construction of billions of dollars of new fossil fuel infrastructure.

He allowed the Keystone XL pipeline to happen, and fracking allowed oil production to skyrocket. He did publish the clean water rule which gave more consistent protections to streams and wetlands. His clean power plan in response to the Paris climate accords was never going to be implemented because our government does not allow for long-term planning
