Most of Obama's clemencies were due to reformations in sentencing rules and things like that (i.e. they were granted to many people who were serving way harsher sentences than they should for the crimes they committed and, by the way, most had already served more time than they reasonably should have). It's not even analogous to a President pardoning somebody who lied to Congress to obstruct in investigation into that President, especially when the person didn't even serve the bulk (or any) of their sentence before being pardoned.
Again, I am not a Democrat by any means so I don't say that with any bias. You've seemed like an intelligent person in the past, so I don't think you'd be stupid enough to actually think the Obama clemencies are comparable at all to what Trump did with Stone; I'm guessing you're just being willfully blind about it.
