I am admittedly biased, and didn't vote for the man, but what do leftists say he did to move the country forward? What's their big talking point? Do they even have one?
Playing devil's advocate because I never voted for the guy either. It would probably be something along the lines of pushing the healthcare debate. I think everyone can agree that Obamacare was overall very poorly done but there are some positives things that can be used from it. Pre-existing conditions and the age that dependents can stay on a plan. Trump brought those up in his 60 minute interview as well.
There are many but my biggest complaint about the Obamacare thing is how it was rushed. Obama knew he was going to lose the Congress and pushed/rushed it.

I can agree with this. I think the biggest issue was Obama and the Dems let their special interests design the majority of it, and in the process it did nothing to address cost. It addressed access, and was supposedly "budget neutral", but nothing in the bill was designed to bring down costs. Nothing. And I think if the Democrats had been honest about Obamacare and it's failures they wouldn't have lost the Rust Belt to Trump. It's amazing that they haven't offered up any solutions to their mess in the past 6 years.
