Here's why I think that Cenk needs to have his own show on cable rather than Dylan Ratigan.
( h/t to Paddy for originally showcasing this )
It's about fucking time someone did some comparative analysis of Reagan and Obama - specifically on the whole amnesty issue that conservatives are screaming and crying about. But he doesn't stop there, as he even pointed out another aspect of Reagan's administration that I have talked about for years - leaving Lebanon after the Marine barracks was attacked and over 200 of our soldiers were killed.
This idea that Reagan was the second coming of Christ - and that's pretty much how conservatives have framed his presidency - is not only laughable, but seriously uninformed and a danger to socio-political discourse. I wouldn't go so far as to call Obama more conservative than Reagan, but I completely agree with Cenk that Obama isn't nearly as liberal as he could be or even should be.
