What made Obama a Republican in this TL?

He came of age in the '80s when Reagan was President and became a Democrat. So with Ted Kennedy and Lloyd Bentsen in the White House in this timeline I thought it would be interesting if he became a Republican. Instead of moving to Chicago and becoming a community organizer he stays in New York and becomes a businessman.
