Jun 17 - Obama's former professor: President 'must Be Defeated'

By Ahmed - 06-17-2012, 01:52 PM - Boxden > BX Daily Bugle - news and headlines

One of the US President Barack Obama's former professors says he "must be defeated in the coming election," because "he has failed to advance the progressive cause in the United States."

Roberto Unger, a longtime professor at Harvard Law School said Obama does not deserve to win the 2012 Presidential election as "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," he added.

Obama’s former teacher then listed his reasons for turning on Obama, saying, "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 said, adding that, "He has delivered the politics of democracy to the rule of money."

"He has disguised his surrender with an empty appeal to tax justice."

Unger said Obama “has reduced justice to charity," and "has evoked a politics of handholding,” stressing that no one can change the world without a struggle.

Obama faces Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in November’s vote as he seeks to be re-elected.

1) who gives a !! what this guy thinks

2) it doesn't say what subject he teaches, on purpose

3) Is he saying Romney is a better choice?

I agree with some of what he's saying, but Romney is not the answer. And he's worse than Obama on all those counts

kevante, this guy is an extreme leftist-socialist. He doesn't support Obama because Obama's policies, in his eyes, haven't been over-reaching, intrusive nor 'socialist' enough.

Yea, I kinda got that vibe. But, why in the !! would he call for Obama's defeat when that would mean empowering Romney? I guess he's for extreme measures [pic]

I agree with almost everything this guy said. He makes solid points about everything Obama has done wrong.

BUT, unfortunately we are left with 2 candidates that can obtain the presidency

Obama> Romney

Not that i really care, they are all puppets in the end

Obama hasn't been a good president, from a far leftist perspective. Doubt they had to pay him at all [pic]

People in america still think it matters who the president is? [pic]

I'm in the military saying this !!

"Obama hasn't been a good president?"

Of course he hasn't, who the !! has been?

Why niccaz still arguing about politics is absurd to me. Mu!!az just arguing to make themselves feel better.

I feel bad for obama, he's getting the same treatment as black athletes get in america. People hype them up to be the greatest and then when they dont meet their expectations the same people are the ones to shoot them down, instead of standing with them. Typical America smh

Tbh they did that TO shoot him down. They want to prove a point. Anyway Obama is a great president and one of the best we've seen in a long time. I still think he shouldve built the black mansion and put the white house on it. Wouldve shown courage for a president

White people of all ages got a vendetta for Mr. Baraka, they teach their kids of 43 nice white presidents and the 44th runaway slave bounty picture frame

End of story.This is why Obama can't and want do to much for his own people. Being the so called 1st black pres you would think he would make a definitive stand against some of the social issue they face, but he can't because he's pretty much Lady Eloise FROM Boomerang. No real power here people. Eat healthy, have good secks and take a !! with a good book /ipad .You'll be happier..[pic][pic]

I think he has helped, if looked at legislation passed.

But he cant just come out on a black agenda.......this country will hang him for that !!......are you serious? Anyway dude is not the maverick President he ran on. But I dont think that the President has no power I think he has the free will to run on his own agenda as long as he is not crossing over those in charge.......which basically is anything that will affect their money, anything less then that they don't give a !! about.....

1.) Is Romney progressive? No so stfu.
2.) America is just an empty shell filled with Food stamps and debt. This Professor is right, Obama isn't doing anything but painting a pretty picture for the people. [pic]
