Where has Hillary Clinton broken with Obama?

Hillary Clinton and President Obama don't see much of each other these days, but when they crossed paths at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute awards gala Thursday (Clinton was delivering an award, and Mr. Obama was speaking soon after) there may have been a little awkwardness.

After she stepped down as the president's secretary of state and began her long period of pondering a presidential bid, Clinton largely kept quiet about Mr. Obama's policies. And until a few weeks ago, she was a big proponent of his policies.

But in the two months since the pair crossed paths at a party on Martha's Vineyard in August, Clinton has sought distance from the president on several key issues where she said she would have acted differently or gone further than he has. Here are the issues where Clinton has snubbed the president recently:

Trade

Clinton championed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) while she served as secretary of state, saying in her 2014 memoir, "Hard Choices," that it would benefit American businesses and workers.

But now she isn't so sure, and on Wednesday she announced her opposition to the massive trade deal that is a key part of the president's legacy.

"As of today, I am not in favor of what I have learned about it," Clinton said in an interview with the PBS News Hour. "I'm worried about currency manipulation not being part of the agreement. We've lost American jobs to the manipulations that countries, particularly in Asia, have engaged in. I'm worried that the pharmaceutical companies may have gotten more benefits, and patients and consumers fewer. I think that there are still a lot of unanswered questions."

Immigration

Clinton supported the president's actions to defer deportation for millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally during his time in office, and pledged to go further than he has by devoting more resources and personnel to the system to help people change their immigration status. She has also promised she would not deport parents or break up families.

In an interview with Telemundo this week, though, she called out the president for the record rates of deportation during his administration.

"The deportation laws were interpreted and enforced very aggressively during the last six and a half years, which I think his administration did in part to try to get Republicans to support comprehensive immigration reform," Clinton told Telemundo. "It was part of a strategy. I think that strategy is no longer workable."

Obamacare

The Affordable Care Act - Mr. Obama's signature legislative achievement -- includes a tax on high-cost insurance plans known as the "Cadillac Tax."

If Clinton is elected, that tax is gone.

"Too many Americans are struggling to meet the cost of rising deductibles and drug prices. That's why, among other steps, I encourage Congress to repeal the so-called Cadillac Tax, which applies to some employer-based health plans, and to fully pay for the cost of repeal," she said in a statement last month when she began talking about ways to improve Obamacare. She has also pledged to crack down on high prescription drug costs and lower out-of-pocket costs for families.

Syria

The ongoing conflict inside Syria was the first issue where Clinton created some distance from the president, recalling their differences of opinion on whether or not to arm Syrian rebels back in 2012. Clinton, then secretary of state, was an advocate. The president decided against it.

"The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad--there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle--the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled," Clinton told The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg in August 2014.

But as the situation in Syria has deteriorated - and the administration's eventual attempts to train moderate rebels was exposed as largely unsuccessful - Clinton's criticism has grown louder.

"Where we are today is not where we were. And where we are today is that we have a failed program. You heard the testimony. Five people trained for...$500 million, half a billion dollars," she told CBS News Anchor John Dickerson on CBS' "Face the Nation" last month.

Energy and environment

Mr. Obama has aggressively tackled pollution and clean energy, mandating a 32 percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. Clinton called that plan a "significant step forward" and promised to defend it against "Republican doubters and defeatists" if she's president. But, she says, the standards laid out by Mr. Obama will "set the floor, not the ceiling" for what she would do.

Additionally, Clinton has set her own ambitious targets that move to the president's left on climate change. She has pledged to obtain 33 percent of electricity in the U.S. from renewable sources by 2027 - Mr. Obama's goal was 20 percent by 2030. She also pledged to install half a billion solar panels by the end of her first term in office and generating enough renewable energy to power all American homes within 10 years of taking office.

Clinton also made headlines for opposing the president's decision to approve drilling in the Alaskan Arctic.
