Romney Ad Accusing Obama Of Failing Ohio Car Dealerships Shows Images From Oklahoma

[Tx4obama]

Last week the campaign for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney released an advertisement accusing President Barack Obama of failing Ohio car dealerships.

One problem: The ad appears to show stock footage of Oklahoma.

In the 30-second spot, Al Zarzour, a 61-year-old car dealership owner from Lyndhurst, Ohio, says that in the wake of the auto bailout General Motors shut down his credit line, forcing him to lay off his 30-person workforce.

"In 2009, under the Obama administration's bailout of General Motors, Ohio dealerships were forced to close," a narrator says in the commercial.

But just as the narrator says that at the 5-second mark, the ad shows a streetscape that appears to be in Oklahoma City, as noted by Sarah Burris, managing editor of the progressive blog FutureMajority.com. Google street view confirms that the scene is indeed outside the Advanced Academics building on E. Sheridan Avenue in Oklahoma City.

3. The ad is a crock. GM decided which dealerships to close. The point is many remained open thanks

to the bailout. As did GM factories. For Mr. Bain to blame Obama for the downside of corporate restructuring is just surreal.
