May 4, 2004 | MAUMEE, Ohio (AP) -- President Bush rode across Ohio on
Monday in a bus emblazoned, "Yes, America can." It turns out the bus was
made in Canada.

The front of the bus bore another label: Prevost Car, jointly owned by the
Swedish Volvo Bus Corp. and Britain's Henly's Group PLC. Prevost's
manufacturing facility is in St. Claire, Quebec.

Foreign-made vehicles are a touchy topic in the job-strapped industrial
Midwest - states like Michigan and Ohio, which Bush has been touring for two
days.

"Seeing the president drive around in this Canadian-made luxury bus is just
another reminder of George Bush's failed economic policies and underscores
that it's time for a change," said Phil Singer, a spokesman for Democrat
John Kerry's campaign.
