Roberto Unger called for Obama's defeat in a recent YouTube video
President Obama is getting an F from his former professor.
Roberto Unger, a Brazilian author, philosopher and politician, posted a video to YouTube last month slamming Obama for failing the average American.
"President Obama must be defeated in the coming election," Unger says in the video, posted on May 22 as part of his "Beyond" series.
"He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices. ... He has delivered the politics of democracy to the rule of money."
Unger taught the President twice during his time at Harvard, according to New Yorker editor and Obama biographer David Remnick, who wrote "The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama" in 2010.
The professor, who told Remnick that Obama was "always interested in ideas, big and small," said he kept up with him "by email and BlackBerry correspondence" after his time at Harvard and through the Presidential campaign, but said "At no time can I say I became his friend."
