The article is interesting as many are seeing Obama as a true Conservative like those European parties unlike the American Conservatives who they see as more an Objectivist party.

It's also the nickname we in Canada give to our Conservative party that's in power right now. They tend to focus more on fiscal conservatism than social conservatism though they do a bit of the latter too. What they don't seem to do is have it in for the middle class in quite the same way the Republicans do and they've always seemed to be about Business as opposed to just big business.
I still don't like them very much at all nor our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, but I kind of acknowledge that they're probably the right party to have in power during this recession.
