Ask Republicans Why they hate Obama?

As a liberal democrat that believes in no war, legalizing drugs, taxing millionaires at 70% or higher, government spending to stimulate the economy, medicare for all, no torture, no drone killings, no wiretapping, no indefinete detentions, real Wall Street Reform, all regulatory reforms with teeth, election reform etc. I can go on all the time what I want. Obama has always been a pragmatist, centrist that will deal with Republicans. He uses Republican ideas. As I was talking with a Republican friend who is voting for Romney, I asked why? Obama is a great Republican. He has lowered taxes more than Bush I or II, and Reagan-most of the stimulus was tax cuts. He got Osama, and expanded the Afghan war, plus added fighting with Libya. Why the hate? He does drone attacks and is not afraid to use the military against pirates etc. He has continued wiretapping, indefinete detentions, he has used the Patriot act and more. Why the hate?He has gutted alot of reforms and was not strong against BP and oil. Why the hate?He has caved with taxes on millionaires. Why the hate? Health care reform was really republican ideas-end pre-existing conditions, tort reform, get rid of yearly/lifetime maximums and the individuate mandate and have more customers for health insurance companies. Why hate Obama? These are ideas from the Heritage Foundation. Why the hate? I am going to ask and ask and ask. We need the answers.
