President Obama's Message to Mitt Romney on Jeep ads: 'THIS ISN'T A GAME'

http://www.politico.com//blogs/burns-haberman/2012/11/obama-on-romney-jeep-ads-this-isnt-a-game-148129.html

From the AP, the first comments from the president on what has been the subject of the race-within-the-race in Ohio this week:

President Barack Obama is accusing Republican rival Mitt Romney of running dishonest ads on the auto industry to scare voters in Ohio, saying: "This isn't a game. These are people's jobs."

The Romney ads, which have been airing in Toledo, the home of a Jeep plant, suggest automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of workers in Ohio.

In his first comments on the ads, Obama says they are "not true. Everybody knows it's not true."

Obama says Romney is trying to alarm Ohioans "just to scare up some votes" in one of the nation's most important swing states in Tuesday's election.

The importance of the bailout has been debated for months in terms of what it would mean for voters in the Midwest, but Romney elevated it with a series of last-minute ads that the car companies in questions have denounced.
