Obama's Harvard law professor says 'President MUST be defeated in 2012' (even though he's the man Barack used to have on speed dial) 
 
 
 
 Roberto Unger, 65, is respected author and Brazilian politician 
 
 Taught Obama about 'reinventing democracy' at Harvard Law School 
 
 
 
 Professor was an adviser during the 2008 election campaign 
 
 
 
 A former professor of Barack Obama has turned against his one-time student and publicly urged voters not to re-elect him. “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. He has failed to advance the progressive cause in the United States.' The esteemed philosopher is scathing of Mr Obama's plans to salvage America's ailing economy, saying that his policy solely consists of '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.” 
 
 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. “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. However his most barbed remarks he reserves for the Democrat leader saying that Mr Obama has 'evoked a politics of handholding, but no one changes the world without a struggle'. Mr Unger argues: '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.'
– A former professor who taught one Barry Obama at Harvard Law School now says his onetime student "must be defeated in the coming election." Roberto Unger—who, the Daily Mail reports, actually advised Obama during his 2008 campaign—believes Obama "has failed to advance the progressive cause," he says in a YouTube video from last month that got little notice until now. Unger at one point launches into what the Daily Caller refers to as "a series of one-liners against Obama," though he also criticizes the Republican Party. "He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices," says Unger, who is also a well-known Brazilian politician. "He has subordinated the broadening of economic and educational opportunity to the important but secondary issue of access to health care. … His policy is financial confidence and food stamps. He has evoked a politics of hand-holding." After reiterating that Obama must be defeated, Unger concludes, "Only a political reversal can allow the voice of democratic prophecy to speak once again in American life."
