Script of "Recovery" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Sales down...

Plants closing, jobs lost.

Families hurting.

Runaway gas prices have stalled Michigan's economy.

Incredibly, Barack Obama and out-of-touch congressional leaders still oppose offshore drilling. So, higher gas prices, more foreign oil, fewer jobs, no drilling, no Michigan recovery.

Barack Obama and congressional liberals -- not ready to lead.
