How Is Obama More Right?

Three times today I read in different places that Obama was to the right of all Dem candidates in 2008. Where is this coming from? How is Hillary Clinton more of a Leftist than Obama?

I was for Hillary back in 2008 but I never noticed any particular Leftism in her as compared to Obama.

  1. For one thing, Cinton is pro-universal health care (she tried to get it passed with Bill in 1993). Obamacare is a centre-right alternative to universal health care, so that would place Obama to the right of Clinton, if nothing else.

  2. Hillary and Obama actually have about the same views on health care, unfortunately (Hint: not all of your readers are lefties), but Obama knew that he couldn’t get single-payer health care past Congress, so he didn’t even try. But at least she’s to his right on foreign policy and would be a stronger leader, so if she gets elected, the country (and the world) will be better off than it is now.
