Conservative Obama and Hillary?

[Fugitive Sisyphus]

I always supposed that thay were liberal (as well as other democrats), until I saw this on Political Compass:

What does it mean? Is liberal on USA different from its classical meaning?

Maybe it's just because in my country "left" has usually something to do with socialism...

Don't trust political compasses.

It makes perfect sense. America is to the right of other industrialized nations, and has been moving that way for years.
