Hillary Clinton: Doyen of the centre right

I am always amused to hear right wing American commentators like O'Reilly and his ilk describe someone like John Kerry or Hillary Clinton as "hard" or "far" left. By the standards that apply in the rest of the world there are few, and certainly no one prominent, in American politics who would qualify as left of centre at all.

Le Figaro explains. (An English translation is to be found here.)
