The owner of a specialty deli at Findlay Market wants her store’s name removed from an ad President Barack Obama is using to defend his record on small business.
Ten seconds into the ad “Always,” a man is shown from behind, pushing up the security door of Krause’s while Obama’s voice talks about owners sacrificing to make their businesses run.
The owner of the store, Debra Krause-McDonnell, said that she did not give permission for her business to be shown and that some customers have told her they’ll no longer shop there.
“I’ve been put into a position I didn’t ask for,” she said Wednesday after the Hamilton County Republican Party sent out an email about the ad that accused Democrats of not responding to the owner’s concerns. “I’m a little angry.”
She’d be just as angry, she said, if it were an ad for Mitt Romney.
I don't buy that for a second. Krause's Deli does a killing selling specialty cheeses at Findlay Market, and they're not exactly inexpensive. Let me assure you that the kind of folks who can afford to shop there are more than happy to have Mitt Romney as President. She's planning to take legal action, she says.
Good luck with that, lady.
Hamilton County Democratic Party chair Caleb Faux looked into Ms. Krause-McDonnell's complaint:
The footage was among some stock footage bought from a Cincinnati video company, Faux said. He did not know the name of the company, but said he was told by the Obama campaign that company officials said they did explain to Krause’s manager that they were filming stock footage that could be purchased and used for any reason.
Fire your manager. Oh, and good luck selling your overpriced cheese.
