What would be the main differences between President Hillary Clinton's policies if she wins in 2016, [View all]

and President Obama's policies today?

I ask because I see a lot of negativity about a President Hillary from quite a few DUers. I was wondering if these DUers are equally negative about President Obama today (but less vocal about it).
