If I did, it must have been out of confusion re. terminology. Obama, the Clintons, Biden, etc. are definitely neoliberals. But in this case, the "-liberal" quality doesn't describe what's typically meant when conservatives casually refer to "liberals"--by which they basically mean social progressives. The "-liberalism" of neoliberalism refers more specifically to the philosophical tradition of liberalism going back to thinkers like Locke, Hobbes, etc. I'm saying that, if we measure Obama, the Clintons, Biden, etc. according to a global/historical spectrum of political variation, they would qualify as moderate republicans, more or less.
It's only within America's skewed perception of politics that they're significantly left-ward of "moderate republican." That's what I meant when I said that neoliberals are moderate republicans.
