rolled back on women's rights with his stance on abortion. rolled back on the lower classes with his stance on welfare. being a member of the democratic party means corporations owned him. off the previous point, he had very poor environmental policy. the one thing i can think of that he wanted to do that could have been progressive (but still wasn't much) was his plan to apologize for slavery. but he didn't even go through with that. he expanded the military. most presidents do this, but because it's a standard doesn't mean it shouldn't be looked down upon. by other people's standards he may be the smartest person alive. by mine, he's a little more on the other end.
