Deli Owner Wants Obama to Remove His Business from Campaign Ad

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.

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.

A store manager knew about the filming, Krause-McDonnell said, but was told it was for a survey on riot doors, those metal garage-type doors that pull down and lock to protect storefronts.

The scene was from stock footage bought from a Cincinnati video company, Faux said.
