[Music] Obama (voiceover): I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.

Dave Hartgrave:  I worked here for 33 years.  Did everything that they asked me to do.  The executives decided to take $19 million out of our pension fund.  Didn’t return it.  Thought I was going to be getting $1500 a month.  I only got $379. 

Obama:  I’m telling the CEOs it hurts America when they cash out and leave workers high and dry.

It’s an outrage.  And you’ve got to have someone in the White House who believes it’s an outrage.

Hartgrave:  Barack Obama’s gonna look out for me.
