Cenk's main point in the article is that this should NOT be a difficult question to answer:

Who is More Conservative: Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama?
by Cenk Uygur

Cenk Uygur's diary :: ::

If you think that's an absurd question, you're not alone. We had this discussion on The Dylan Ratigan Show when I was filling in for him on MSNBC and both of my guests thought it was absurd. A conservative website led with the headline that it was absurd (though they did not present one single fact to back up their claim). Except as it turns out, based on the facts, it is a really hard question to answer. And it would be absurd to claim otherwise.



He then goes on to list the diffeences with the lists you posted in your OP. His whole point being, Why do we, today, have to wonder if our Democratic leaders are truly liberal or not? Why do we have to scratch our heads in bafflement when we see them making decisions that would have given the old time conservatives like Reagan pause? So, just posting prefab lists of "promises kept" doesn't really get to the heart of the issue. We shouldn't have to be wondering why our leaders make the decisions they do. Overall, its an interesting question, and the responses are generally silly and pointless regurgitations of "You never loved Obama."
