Did you not read the article or look at the dates? Obama was trying to do more but couldn't with the Republican congress. I mean...really? 

Obama did that only months before leaving office. It was legislation he supported but that the Republican congress would not support more funding for.

You're so enamoured when Trump speaks that you fail to see it's basically the same side of a different coin. Trump still isn't doing much to actually fund a solution for it.

In reality it's the Republicans who don't want to do much about it. But because Trump gives a speech about it you're duped into thinking something is getting done. 

Obama and the Democrats are the only ones who have actually been trying to do anything.
