John...Thought on what this guy has to say?...from the lefties bible network. Roberto Unger, Obama's Former Harvard Law School Professor, Says The President 'Must Be Defeated' The Huffington Post \| By Bonnie Kavoussi Posted: 06/16/2012 huffingtonpost.com Video... Robert Mangabeira Unger - "Beyond Obama" youtube.com One of President Barack Obama's former professors appears to have turned against him, according to a recent YouTube video. "President Obama must be defeated in the coming election," Roberto Unger, a longtime professor at Harvard Law School who taught Obama, said in a video posted on May 22. "He has failed to advance the progressive cause in the United States." Unger said that Obama must lose the election in order for "the voice of democratic prophecy to speak once again in American life." He acknowledged that if a Republican wins the presidency, "there will be a cost ... in judicial and administrative appointments." But he said that "the risk of military adventurism" would be no worse under a Republican than under Obama, and that "the Democratic Party proposes no new direction." "Give the bond markets what they want, bail out the reckless so long as they are also rich, use fiscal and monetary stimulus to make up for the absence of any consequential broadening of economic and educational opportunity, sweeten the pill of disempowerment with a touch of tax fairness, even though the effect of any such tax reform is sure to be modest," he said. "This is less a project than it is an abdication." The professor went on to list his complaints: •"His policy is financial confidence and food stamps." •"He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices." •"He has delivered the politics of democracy to the rule of money." •"He has disguised his surrender with an empty appeal to tax justice." •"He has reduced justice to charity." •"He has subordinated the broadening of economic and educational opportunity to the important but secondary issue of access to health care in the mistaken belief that he would be spared a fight." •"He has evoked a politics of handholding, but no one changes the world without a struggle." Unger also criticized the nation's current economic policies in a recent YouTube video called "Beyond Stimulus."
