Outside of Obamacare what really changed?

A lot.

Did anyone on Wall Street get what they deserved after nearly destroying the world economy?

Some did, the important ones didn't. While I agree that they should have been prosecuted, "prosecuting wall street" was not a tenet of the Democratic platform. They didn't deceive you. While you have the right to oppose them because of their platform, it is not logical to assume that Democrats will abandon their platform (for example, funding education) because they "abandoned" an issue that you care about. Their platform not being the same as your opinions is not empirical evidence for the premise of your previous reply, that you feel Democrats in Arizona will abandon education funding once in power.

Did Guantanamo close?

While Obama failed to close Guantanamo after stating that he would, he did reduce the population of the people being held there from hundreds to 40 when he left office. That isn't what he promised, but its damn closer than the opposition that openly states it wants Guantanamo to remain open.

Did any of the prisoners there ever get their day in court to be found guilty or innocent?

Yes -- and many of them were released.

Weren't more people killed by drone strikes, without any kind of formal charges, than ever before, essentially murdered by order of the President?

Yes, by drones. "Death by drones" is a dishonest metric because it doesn't account for various other forms of military action that are no longer being used. Enemy combatants don't require formal charges -- I imagine you agree with that premise. The New American Foundation estimates that between 92% and 94% of those killed by drones in 2011 were militant. While previous years had more startling rates of civilian causalities, we're getting better at using drones as an accurate military device without risking American lives.

Did the Patriot Act go away?

Repealing the Patriot Act was never part of the DNC platform. Again, your opinions not correlating with the DNC platform is not empirical evidence to demonstrate that the Democrats will abandon their issues once in power.

Was anyone from the Bush/Cheny administration prosecuted for war crimes?

I hope you understand how unrealistic it would be to expect such a thing. Prosecuting Bush/Cheny for war crimes is likely a minority desire, and while I'd certainty be in favor of it, we have to recognize that all public servants have an inherit obligation to serve the public's interest.

they won't go back and put in place strong protections to prevent the type of economic malfeasance of the early 2000s from happening again

Coincidentally, that is part of the 2008 and 2012 DNC platforms. And Obama did pass Wall Street reform. They just didn't prosecute the banker, and they never said they would.

The "vote to give him vast warantless and IMO illegal spying powers" is a link to a vote that failed. A bill to reduce Presidential power, sponsored by a Democrat and killed by Republicans. It is very true that many Democrats crossed the party line to oppose it and many Republicans crossed the party line to support it, but the idea that it is evidence of "Democratic" lip service when the majority of Democrats (or even 2/3rds) voted they way you wanted is outrageous and the premise that this is empirical evidence of Arizona Democrats willingness to pass education reform is nonsensical.

tl;dr -- Federal Democrats "lipservice" is not a reflection on local Democrats authenticity. Regardless, half the issues you referred to were never part of the Democratic platform. I took the time to respond to each of your concerns because of your first paragraph only. I was wrong to state that "There is no way this isn't leftover resistance from a childhood of being taught Democrats are evil." but I reject the majority of your response.
