There was nothing about Obama that was either economically or socially conservative. And Bill had a lot of positions that were liberal in the 90s. I'm sorry but we can't just keep propagating this myth that the conservative Democrats have been party leaders.
Obama's chief legislative achievement was raising rich people's taxes to pay for poor people's healthcare. He appointed Sonia Sotomayor, the only justice to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Clinton appointee.
Before Bill Clinton, the military had whole offices dedicated to rooting out gay soldiers. DADT closed those offices forever. Obama took the necessary second step and fully integrated the military.
