This ought to stir up some outrage from the Left. Team Romney’s new 30 second ad reminds voters that when President Obama restructured General Motors, he forced thousands of dealerships to close.

The script:

VIDEO TEXT: “Al Zarzour”

VIDEO TEXT: “Lyndhurst, OH”

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.”
