Obama for America

"Collapse" +

:30 ad from Oct. 29, 2012 run in OH.



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

[Music] Male Announcer: When the auto industry faced collapse, Mitt Romney turned his back. 

Even the conservative Detroit News criticized Romney for his wrong-headedness on the bailout.

And now, after Romney's false claim of Jeep outsourcing to China, Chrysler itself has refuted Romney's lie.

The truth?  Jeep is adding jobs in Ohio.

Mitt Romney on Ohio jobs.  Wrong then.  Romney (clip): Let Detroit go bankrupt.  Male Announcer: Dishonest now.

Notes: Response to the Romney ad "Who Will Do More?"  According to the press release...

Obama for America released a new television ad today titled “Collapse” that lays out the truth about Mitt Romney’s position on the auto rescue. When the industry faced collapse, Romney turned his back and said we should just “let Detroit go bankrupt.” Now, Romney’s latest television ad stoops to suggesting wildly false claims in a desperate attempt to re-write history – but the truth is that both Chrysler and the Detroit newspaper he cites have debunked his falsehoods. President Obama bet on the American worker, saving more than a million auto-industry jobs up and down the supply chain, and now Jeep just saw its best September sales in six years and is adding more than a thousand jobs in Ohio.
