240. Here's my answer: During the 2008 primary season, Obama called
Hillary Republican-Lite. I agreed with the statement. Hillary's stances on foreign policy were too hawkish for my taste. I disagreed with her on individual mandates. I disagreed with her on economic policy. I disagreed with her on several issues, all of which differentiated her and Obama.

Sadly, after winning the presidency, Obama took up many of Hillary's stances. As soon as the primary was over he dumped his economic team and took over Hillary's. He appointed Hillary, who varied greatly on his foreign policy, to head up our foreign policy. He pushed her individual mandate stance on HCR.

To be fair, I can understand why many people who supported Hillary in the primaries are now supporters of President Obama.

What I don't understand is why some people can't understand why many former Obama supporters are now upset with Obama.
