Hard to say if you changed his mind, but that can come later. If he pauses for a moment before hitting the "Post" button, that may be as much as you could accomplish this go-round. I think people can be persuaded, particularly if they're engaged on a subject or an issue by someone they know. It won't happen all at once, but if your nephew was an Obama supporter once upon a time and had his mind changed, it can be changed back.
