Or maybe Obama could have kept his campaign promise that codifying Roe vs. Wade in law was his first order of business.

I don't disagree that Democrats should have done this, but I doubt any Senate during his presidency would have passed it. The Democratic super majority lasted only a few months and he used that to pass the ACA. I don't think it would have passed if it had codified Roe.
