Its his attitude and manner of treating people. He tries to solve problems rather than laying blame for them. He says lets work together to help the needy rather than I'm going to make you give back what you stole from the needy you dirty son-of-a-bitch. He's also willing to admit when he's made a mistake and say nobody is perfect, lets try again with a new approach. He even listens to the other side. I've seen it work for corporate managers as well.

You probably also liked the Republican party, but was crushed and disheartened by the Bush administration after they were reelected because Obama is everything Bush refused to be.
