Obama is perceived as a 'weak' President, alternatively, Hillary comes across strong and powerful which is something the Democrats are looking for.
Thank you.
But the same folks who voted for Obama because he was perceived to be a "dove" on foreign policy (some of whom are on here) want to crucify her because of one vote she took 12 years ago that they seem to think will matter when the primary campaign season rolls around. They seem to forget all about Obama's drones and continuing conflict in the Middle East (don't get me wrong, I support the move on ISIS), but the hypocrisy is alarming. They turn a blind eye for anything militarily that Obama does (all because of a speech he gave over a decade ago), but if this were Hillary, they'd be calling for her impeachment. I don't understand their way of thinking, or lack, thereof.
