"The whole system, all of Washington has moved to the right!"
Cenk is wrong.
Like I said, the move to the right was ushered in by Reagan.
The 80s and 90s ushered in a fever of deregulation and contempt for social spending.
The pendulum is swinging back, and it didn't start with Obama's election. Go back to 2006 and see the wave of populism that drove the election of Senators like Tester and Whitehouse.
Regardless of the damage caused by Reagan, things are changing. Cenk's absurd comparison is designed to argue that Obama is taking the country further to the right.
