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."

I love it. Even Hussein's ex-law professor, a liberal, sees this guy for what he truly is: an abomination.

I thought the OP was strange, as well.

Are we supposed to think that a old law professor "turning" on him is the last straw or something?

Its kinda weard if you ask me... IT was touted as if Michelle had come out against her husband. Who cares what some law professor thinks about her personal feelings toward the president.

so get the fuck out of the region, and that means now. 2013 is a false date, we're commited for another 10 years to "support Karzai and the Afgan Army."

Which i'm quite sure the Taliban will appreciate once we leave ,and Karzai collapses. a nice shiney new army for the Taliban, Thanks Obama.. Allah be praised.

We had a decent working relationship with Paki - they have(had) to walk a fine line, because of internal politics. But we did get intel on AQ. no more.
We blew that up too ( literally) with indiscriminate drone use.
I agree with you on your statement, i'm saying quit playing games that we're gonna "stabilze" the region.

Obviously Obama didn't realize just how old, tired and worn out the Repubs' ideas were/are. He hoped once things were explained in a logical manner they would come on board but ......

We come back to ObamaCare. Almost every advanced nation has implemented government medical. There is nothing radical about it. It's no more radical than education for our youth or assistance for the needy, yet, the Repubs went ballistic.

Keeping the youth that were educated here rather than deporting them is just logical. No country would ever consider doing such a silly thing. Countries do all they can to keep their educated youth. This is what I mean by being logical. Whatever the circumstances pertaining to immigration kicking the educated youth out of the country is not the answer. It's absurd and Obama has been watching it happen as Congress stalls and obstructs on getting an immigration policy in place. A brain drain was happening and Obama had to stop it.

As for this not being part of his campaign speech back in 2008 I doubt he could have imagined such idiocy from the Right of not only watching a brain drain happen but insisting on it. At the end of the day he must just shake his head in disbelief. :(

So you're saying that he didn't lie; but instead was just stupid. :palm:

The region will never be stabilized. Our interest in Pakistan, is to make sure that their nukes don't fall into the wrong hands.

Something those idiots aren't capable of doing.

India and Paki mostly have them pointed at each other.
It's impossible to control Paki nukes by the USA. how can we do that? Even if that is our interest?
Continue paying bribe money? what controlling factors do we possess? Destabilizing the region isn't helpful, turning Paki completely away from the western sphere isn't helpful.
They aren't "idiots" I don't see thm running around the world with drones. Perpetual War. I would imagine if we LEFT, and got OUT, we might be able to help quell the fundamentalist influence. Staying there accomplishes......nothing, it just aggrevates the tribal/ethnic inherent conflicts.

What we are doing now is counter-productive -leaving would help, but we've already stuck our "fist in the hornet's nest", and they're gonna be buzzing for awhile
Still the best way out is OUT NOW. see how it goes.
 
LOL, Obama isn't radical enough for an old leftist professor and the GOP agrees?

Are you aware that Obama is murdering innocent Pakistanis?

Do you think our aid to Pakistan should give us the right to murder any innocent Pakistani we choose?

Some of these points have the scent of facts. But only a scent.

And the bold segement is true. My biggest complaint with Obama, is his number one agenda....to get re-elected.

As such, he's carefully crafted a history of reaching out to the republicans, only to have his hand slapped away.

He can now demonstrate that he's tried the 'compromise' method, and it doesn't work.


Perhaps when he has no future election to worry about, he'll get down to the business of change?

Did it ever occur to you that his message of "change" was only to get elected in the first place .. just as he dances to get re-elected now?

Has it ever occured to you that Obama isn't interesdted in anyone but his own family?

Has it ever occured to you that you've been played?

Obama is not a progressive .. he's a corporatist.

How is that possibly missed?

I was blinded by the light and the hope of change, now I am just sad.
