130. But what evidence do you have that she changed since then? BTW, the DLC was not in the 90's

It began in the mid-1980s. And, it's gone as a separate think tank, but its philosophies live on in the Democratic Party, which the DLC altered greatly, also in think tanks like Third Way and the Progressive Policy Institute. Hillary is a New Democrat.

You can't simply cite a year and assume that resolves everything. I don't see any evidence that she is not the same Hillary that sat on the board of Wal-Mart or traveled around other countries with Al From, trying to sell other countries on DLC policies.

The Obama campaign was indeed to the left of the Hillary campaign, on things like the war, the public option vs. the individual mandate and race issues. For example, Obama never said anything like "hard working white people" or compared being a U.S. Senator to being on the "plantation."

However, I don't think the Obama Administration has governed to the left of Hillary. In reality, I think they are both very much New Democrats.
