I dunno, I don't consider things like the Clean Water Act or Superfund cleanup to be 'lame' - but I've worked for an environmental lobby in the past.
As far as Panama: it wasn't a matter of things might not be neutral, it was a matter of giving the Canal back to Panama instead of as a US-owned thing.
I didn't say the China thing was _major_, nor any of this - merely a 'good' thing as you asked for. It counts as 'his' because previous presidents had refused to do so; seeking some diplomatic ties to China was a Nixon thing, but we were still fresh out of viewing them as a Communist Foe from the Vietnam war.
The jobs bit was deliberately spurious. :) Since every president tries to claim job creation as being due to them, when it happens.
