I appreciate your passion, but Obama still didn't follow through with his promises, and whatever change he enacted wasn't enough.

  And I admire yours. I also agree with you the revised version of the statement above. :) Friendly advice: if you want to engage in meaningful dialogue here avoid making absolutist (and lets' be honest, provably false) statements like "Obama did nothing" since you won't be taken seriously. Have a good day.

    I just checked and my actual words were "basically changed nothing", which to me means "made some changes, but they were inadequate".

      I disagree. Most people will read that as saying the changes he made were inconsequential (in other words the changes "basically amounted to nothing"). https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/amount+to+nothing https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/amount+to+nothing If you meant inadequate (weren't enough), rather than inconsequential (had little to no effect) you could have said it. Edit: That's not to mention that you twice doubled down on the idea he "did nothing" in other comments.
