Script of "Recovery" (TV)

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

(Text on screen: The Columbus Dispatch, 'Lean times')

Plants closing, jobs lost, families hurting.

(Text on screen: The Columbus Dispatch, 'New business declines in Ohio')

Runaway gas prices have stalled Ohio's economy.

(Text on screen: Chicago Tribune, 'Car stall puts brake on retailers')

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 Ohio recovery.

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