The Romney campaign released a new ad Wednesday attacking auto industry bailout under President Obama. The ad features a GM dealership owner in Ohio who was forced to close his business in 2009. The ad comes the same day that President Obama is set to campaign in Ohio.

AL ZARZOUR: “Grew up here in Lyndhurst, started 1972, selling cars.”

 

VOICEOVER: “In 2009, under the Obama Administration’s bailout of General Motors, Ohio dealerships were forced to close.”

 

ZARZOUR: “I received a letter from General Motors. They were suspending my credit line. We had thirty-some employees that were out of work.

 

ZARZOUR: “My wife and I were the last ones there. You know, it was like the dream that we worked for, and that we worked so hard for, was gone.”

The Romney camp released the ad in coordination with the RNC. They gave no information about the size of the ad buy or where the ad would be running.
