“We are hoping that when President Obama comes to Michigan next week, that this is going to be on his radar screen, that he’s going to say Michigan doesn’t care about their middle class, [so] why should we be bending over backwards to make sure that this governor is able to deliver on his promise,” said Mrs. Whitmer in an interview with local radio station WWJ.Whitmer has proven that her fealty is to unions. Not her role as a Senator, not her duty to protect state power from federal encroachment, and not the duty she wants to assume as Governor. Yes, Whitmer imagines she should be the one to take on sitting Governor Rick Snyder in the next gubernatorial election, but here she is pleading for the federal government to trample on state power? What sort of tact is that for a prospective governor to take? If this fool won election, is she so disinterested in leading her state from the state capital in Lansing that she’d just let the feds run everything from Washington? What sort of tact is that for a prospective governor to take? Is she a woman of power or a Washington controlled puppet?
