There was a boom due to fracking. Obama did everything in his power to restrict new drilling including a ban on Federal land and offshore. There was a backlash due to Obama lying about Obamacare and causing insurance premiums to rise dramatically. Geez everything is racism with you guys. Look at his policies!Lol. Yeah I work in the oil and gas industry and while Obama takes global warming seriously so I wouldn’t say he is a champion of this industry at all, but during his presidency there was a boon in the oil and gas industry. that as a fact. First off his major attention was focused on saving the economy from a depression, which the stimulus accomplished. He was also focused on saving the American auto industry which he did. So you are just factually wrong about the focus on his administration being the ACA. I think there was two things that happened in the 2010 elections, there was a racist backlash to his election as there always is a racist backlash to racial progress, and the economy was recovering, but still down. So a lot of voters stayed home in the midterms, and a lot of angry racists voted in the midterms. Had little to do with the ACA though.
