Obama has consistently showed himself to the be a staunch liberal and is arguably the farthest left president the United States has ever had. Unlike Ronald Reagan who had a cordial relationship with Tip O'Neil, Obama rarely engages in bipartisanship and rarely (if ever) fraternizes with conservatives and frequently expresses loathing of conservatives/conservatism.
Obama's absence at the funerals of [[Antonin Scalia]] and Nancy Reagan is best explained by his antipathy towards conservatives and not antipathy to those who call themselves Christians. Obama did attend the funerals where the departed had professed to be Christians during their life. He openly wept at the funeral of Senator Daniel Inouye who was a United Methodist (Some United Methodists practice theological liberalism while others are religious conservatives).<ref>[http://dailycaller.com/2016/02/17/heres-six-funerals-the-obamas-did-attend/ Here Are Six Funerals The Obamas DID Attend]</ref>
