You probably remember the wonderful "Amercia" app, which was pretty funny.

It appears that Romney is now running this ad in Ohio:

My favorite part is at the 0:05 second mark, wonderful view of downtown.

It appears that in order to highlight the economic downturn they decided to show a downtown that is in the middle of a great recovery, where business is booming growing.

I should know, because that shot is in my city.

Oklahoma City.

Which is not in Ohio

.

Politics...

**Jihadin**

I agree. This is way getting out of hand.

edit
seems link playing iffy

Its the "Steel" ad

Mitt's has always reminded me of a young monty burns

**d-usa**

I think in your rush to defend Romney you missed the point of my post.

I was making fun of the fact that somebody used footage form Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (one of the cities that weathered the recession better than most others) to demonstrate the economic downturn of some city in Ohio.

I know fact checking can be hard in political ads. But it shouldn't take a genius to figure out that Oklahoma City is in Oklahoma, not Ohio.

**Jihadin**

My bad D.

But does the average american know thats Okaholma City besides yourself?

**d-usa**

I am sure the left will jump all over it to make sure people know how out of touch Romney is with America that he cannot even tell one city from another.

He outsourced my city to Ohio!

**Ma55ter_fett**

How can you be sure?

pic's for reference maybe?

**xole**

I thought that city looked familiar.

The Mad Burns/Mitt comparison put me off more than that his campaign people are stupid.

**Jihadin**

He outsourced my city to Ohio!

OMG D. can you imagine that train wreck if it came down to outsourcing jobs to other states

**d-usa**

I live here that is how I know young Ma55ster_fett

. But pics just for reference

Not going to hunt down a screenshot of the video, but if you go to the 0:05 second mark you can pause it there for reference.

Pic 1 is an overhead shot of the intersection:

https://maps.google.com/?ll=35.466446,-97.51188&spn=0.001739,0.002411&t=h&z=19

The very right building in the video is the banjo museum, the one behind it is the academy. Right behind the railroad bridge is Gaylord and you can see the sky bridge connecting the hotel to the Cox Center.

And Google Street View shot:

Notice the same bridge, the same blue sign on the right side of the road, the same mural on the wall below the tracks.

You mean like this? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/10/boeing-opens-750-million-plant-south-carolina/

I wonder why the administration does not raise such a stink everytime another large US company opens a new factory overseas.

Let the state bashing begins

**Melissia**

It's Oklahoma, nothing more needs to be said.

The cartoon bit amused me more though.

**d-usa**

If it wasn't for Oklahoma people from Kansas could just walk into Texas. Be happy we are in he way to prevent that Melissia.

Texas HURR! Don't like it, we'll send ten thousand pickup driving rednecks to clog your highways and run you off the road, singing along to a drunken Randy Travis cassette!
