George Bush and Obama: "The Destroyer" and "Hope Abandoned"


Though these win the award for my two favorite chapter titles (he was clearly a very unhappy man at this point in his book), Unger gives surprisingly little detail as to the most recent of the American presidents, Barack Obama and George W. Bush. In fact, he seems to kind of lump them together, which Greenberg feels couldn't be further from the truth.

Unger at this point seems to have given up of distinguishing between the faults of the different presidents. It's like at some point he threw all of his separate ideas into one big basket, shook them up, and it's now just one big lump of hatred for anything and everything that dares to set a pinkie toe across the threshold of the White House entrance. 

So to wrap this up, I have a few cartoons, equally pessimistic, and equally appropriate to the situation. Because after all, Unger approves of no one. :) Adios, folks
