You're moving the discussion away from the central point. No one in their right mind would call Bill Clinton a radical liberal. He wasn't even really a liberal, he was (and probably still is) farther right than Obama and even his wife. Ideologically he's center or center right.

Right, but the person issuing the orders was a republican. No matter who made the decisions along the chain of command, there sat a registered republican.

Not in the least. He strongly believed in the second amendment, he believed in radically small federal government, he believed that military expansionism was wrong, he believed in individual liberties, and was strongly against taxes. I can't imagine a better description of a libertarian. The fact that he became radical does not change his core political beliefs.

No. A left centrist is in control of the White House now, preceded by a far right chicken hawk neoconservative, preceded by another centrist, preceded by a right winger neoconservative, preceded by the first neoconservative. We've not had a "leftist" president for a very long time, and only someone off the deep end of the right could call President Obama a leftist with a straight face.
