There are only two that come to mind: Same-sex marriage and pollution regulation, and I'm not so sure about environmental regulation. When ol' Willard M. Romney was running for office in Massachusetts,he was well to the left of Obama. Romney signed a bill that made permanent the Brady Bill gun controls in Massachusetts. Romney signed universal health care into law in Massachusetts. Obama is willing to gut Medicare and Social Security. Obama has been and continues to be willing to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich.
As far as I can see, Obama's message to the base of the Democratic party next year is "vote for me, because the Republicans would be worse."
I personally prefer enemies over friends who shiv me in the back at every opportunity. At this point in time, if the Republicans have the good sense to nominate someone like Jon Huntsman next year, I'm going to sit on my hands.

Oh dear, I remember when I didn't vote for Carter and Reagan was elected....
Carter's somewhat redeemed himself by being one of the best, most active ex-Presidents ever.
Carter was a lousy president. I feel not at all bad about not voting for him in 1980.
One is a mormon, and the other one really wants to be a mormon.
Or is it one is a moron, and the other one really wants to be a moron.
I get so confused.
