Small Business Doesn't Want to Be Part of Obama's Small Business Ad
Deli owner demands footage of storefront be taken out of political advertisement.
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.
