And what did Obama do for Syria? 

In any case, before the Saudi/Qatari/US backed rebels came along, Syria was a semi-civilized country, with an educated populace, some women's rights, and gradually becoming more a part of the international community.  Of course Assad was a brutal dictator but the average person was still far better off. 

We are not going to get wonderful democracies in that part of the world. A stable nation, even under a dictator, not under continuous attack by religious fanatics, is a less bad outcome than any nation ruled by ISIS and their fellow travellers, which to Obama's everlasting shame he supported indirectly.
