Obama for America

"Made in Ohio" +

:30 ad from Oct. 19, 2012.

Obama (voiceover): I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.

[Music] Brian: "They came up and said you are indefinitely laid off—everybody as of right now."

Karen: "What was I going to do for my children? Are they going to have a home?"

Miles: "Without President Obama’s rescue of the auto industry, Ohio would have collapsed."

George: "Mitt Romney would have just let us go under—just let them go… bankrupt."

Romney: "That’s exactly what I said, the headline that you read which is, said: “let Detroit go bankrupt."

Karen: "And for him to just say—let them fail."

George: "How you can say something like that is beyond me."


Notes: According to the press release... 

The people of Ohio know the clear choice they face in this election.  OFA’s new television advertisement, “Made in Ohio,” features Ohioans who know just how important President Obama’s rescue of the auto industry was for them, their families, and their communities. They know too how it felt to hear Mitt Romney promise to let the whole industry collapse. That is why Ohioans understand that this election is about two fundamentally different visions of an economy: between moving America forward by building the economy from the middle class out, or taking us backward with a top-down approach.
