Obama's Law Professor On His Failures As President -

Brazilian Roberto Unger is a leading
political philosopher and an advocate of
progressive politics.
He has taught at Harvard Law School for
about 40 years and US President Barack
Obama was one of his students in the
1980s.
Asked why he moved from welcoming
Obama's election in 2008 to calling him a
"disaster" for the Democratic party, Mr
Unger told HARDtalk the president had
failed to "come up with a sequel to
Roosevelt's New Deal" of the 1930s.
"There is no project in the United States
responsive to the needs and aspirations of
the broad working class majority of the
country," said Mr Unger.
"Obama and his collaborators have
mistaken conformism for realism," he
added.
