Really not surprised that either party gave in to industry. Blaming Presidents is too easy. Voters have long sided with deregulation, smaller government, state’s rights, on and on. Corporations love this environment and love seeing people argue about negotiations that they know nothing about because they aren’t public.
It never fails though, as soon as the lack of regulation causes a problem in their backyard, they blame the government for not doing what they told them to not do.
