One of President Obama's former Harvard professors is calling for the president's defeat in November, releasing a scathing video in which he accuses the president of abandoning America's workers while pushing a policy of "food stamps."

The video by Brazilian scholar and politician Roberto Unger serves as an indictment of both parties. But in it, Unger says Obama must be defeated in order for the Democratic Party to restore itself "as the vehicle for the progressive alternative in the country."

Obama, he said, has not advanced that cause.

"President Obama must be defeated in the coming election. He has failed to advance the progressive cause in the United States," he said in the eight-minute video, titled "Beyond Obama" and posted to YouTube.

"He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices," Unger said.

Obama, when he attended Harvard, took two classes with Unger -- Jurisprudence and Reinventing Democracy, according to David Remnick's book "The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama." Unger continued to correspond with Obama via BlackBerry going into the presidential campaign, Remnick reported, though Unger said he never became Obama's "friend" and kept his distance from the then-candidate out of concern that Unger's own "leftist" leanings might do "harm" to Obama.

In the recent web video, Unger's accusations against his former student become increasingly caustic. Toward the end, the professor claims Obama pursued health care reform at the expense of economic recovery.

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

He went on to say Obama "reduced justice to charity" while embodying a policy of "financial confidence and food stamps" and a "politics of hand-holding."

Unger wasn't exactly thrilled about the thought of a Mitt Romney presidency, either. He warned that should Obama be defeated, "there will be a cost for his defeat in judicial and administrative appointments."

But, he said, the risk of "military adventurism" would be the same under either Obama or Romney.

So what if we get another 4 years of Obama as POTUS ? If the current administration of Obama & Co. plus those of Bush 43, Clinton, and Bush 41 have not awakened voters, and especially Mormon voters, to their "awful situation" and motivated them to do as President Benson told us in the October 1987 General Conference, then they will get what they richly deserve.

Considering that every single president for the last few decades, regardless of party affiliation, has adopted the same policies as his predecessor, and in most cases expanded them, it really doesn't matter who gets the presidency at this point. Notice how by the end of W. Bush's term people were shouting for his impeachment and talking nonstop about how horrible he was. Then Obama came along and expanded all of Bush's policies, and suddenly he's the warmongering tyrant and everyone forgets about Bush.

Romney, if he wins, will doubtless likewise make Obama look good in comparison, continuing the trend.

Politian’s all seem the same with simular agenda's. I hold on to a little string of hope but in reality I know things are going to get worse no matter what person steps into office. All I know is I want Obama out. His arrogance is completely out of control and I'm starting to believe he thinks he's the master of all. The man creep’s me out.

What’s even more disturbing is that so many don’t see what’s right in their face. Obama doesn’t even try to hide it… he just says it/does it! I don’t know how anyone else feels about this but he has been unstoppable. Everything he says and does makes no impact and causes no shock to people.

Obama has to know he is just a marionette of the puppet masters who put him in office. He is a good actor, if not a very good script reader.

It will be interesting to see what happens when it is a mormon president who is violating our constitution. Will that wake more people up or just lull them into a deeper sleep?
