Hi, I can't see a meaning here. Perhaps you mean 'Better than nothing' ? eg My car isn't very good, bu it's better than nothing.

Hi,

The article says that the subject of Obama 's speech was the topic of 'nothing much at all'.

The headline suggests that Obama said 'Other than talk about nothing, I will just say that the bad current situation is not my fault'.
