(The Daily Caller)-Harvard Law School professor Roberto Unger, who taught President Barack Obama classes such as Jurisprudence and Reinventing Democracy, said last month that his former student has betrayed liberals and should lose the presidency in November.
“President Obama must be defeated in the coming election,” Unger said in a sit-down video posted to his YouTube account in May, which also attacked the Republican party.
“If [The Republicans] had their way, inequality would be even greater than it is now,” Unger said, before acknowledging that a Romney win would lead to some undesirable “judicial and administrative appointments.”
But those costs, to Unger, pale in comparison to the risks of an Obama second term.
“The Democratic Party has no new direction. … [Obama] has failed to advance the progressive cause,” Unger said. “He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices.”
Then, gripping his chair tightly as if to strap in for an earthquake of truth-telling, Unger proceeded to unleash a series of one-liners against Obama.
Unger has posted several interviews with himself on his YouTube channel, which are viewed only rarely. Unger typically disables comments on his videos, and he receives few positive or insightful comments when he does allow user interaction.
In a video Unger posted on the topic of the Hegelian and Sartrean Heresies, for example, a viewer praised Unger’s “very interesting” point of view but complained that “there’s got to be something you can do” about “your jaw click.”
According to the Harvard Crimson, Unger received tenure at Harvard Law School at the unusually young age of 29.
*CAN YOU SAY...JEALOUS! We think so.
This guy is so ridiculous. He's looking for an avenue to put all his rhetoric out there about the President just like others. You would think he would be supportive and down the middle, but I guess jealousy has gotten the better of him. I guess the question we have is, why would a professor come out like this other than seek attention? Something tells us he's not getting attention elsewhere (hint: the bedroom). Truly, this guy needs to crawl back into the whole where he came from instead of coming out with some ridiculous mess like this. Yes! We say; BORING!!
