Michigan Democrats saved the worst for last. This Saturday, President Obama will be making a campaign stop in Detroit to rally support for Gary Peters and Mark Schauer.

While most Democrats around the country are trying to distance themselves from the sitting president, Peters and Schauer are embracing his visit and failed policies with open arms.

Peters and Schauer have been lock step with President’s Obama’s agenda since 2008 – voting with the president at least 90% of the time.

In Peters’ first three years in Congress, he supported $5.6 trillion in tax-and-spend legislation while Schauer rubberstamped a stunning $4.9 trillion in just 24 months.

However, their most notable stamp of approval for Obama’s failed policies came when it was time to support the president’s signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Awarded the “Lie of the Year” in 2013 for the “if you like your doctor, you can keep him” falsehood, the law has since been a headache for Obama and his supporters.

As 225,000 Michigan families lost their healthcare and premiums increased for hundreds of thousands, Gary Peters and Mark Schauer’s support for President Obama’s health care law remains unrelenting.

The “hope and change” that was promised by Peters, Schauer and Obama failed to materialize and was instead replaced with pessimism and doubt.

The love affair is not exclusive to Peters and Schauer, as President Obama is also a fan of both Michigan candidates. In 2008, President Obama appeared in an ad endorsing Peters and attended a fundraiser for Schauer’s reelection campaign in 2010. 

In a recent interview, President Obama tried to cover for Democrats avoiding him by saying it was a political gimmick and that they do in fact like him because they “have supported my agenda in Congress.” One can only picture a little kid trying to convince himself he still has friends.

Underneath the spin and rhetoric, President Obama reveals an admission of responsibility that people are truly upset and discouraged with his leadership. And for good reason.

Gary Peters and Mark Schauer have always been interested in supporting President Obama’s policies, but how many times have they stood up for the interest of Michigan families?

Throughout their political careers, they have been out to further their own interests and those of Washington Democrats when given the opportunity. They remain unapologetic for their failed voting record and unwavering support for President Obama.

Saturday’s visit will be a testament to Gary Peters and Mark Schauer’s allegiance to President Obama and will cement their support for big government policies.

If you remember one thing when you go to the ballot box, remember this: A vote for Gary Peters and Mark Schauer is a vote for President Obama’s failed policies.
