The Romney campaign is out with a new web video Sunday attacking President Obama for comments made Friday that the private sector is “doing fine.” The video replays Obama’s comment, then shows Americans who have lost their jobs, discussing the struggling economy.

From the video: 

WOMAN: “We’ve seen layoffs, cutbacks.”

MAN: “When it’s all said and done I’m making $200 a month.”

WOMAN: “I’ve been looking for a job for two years haven’t found any.”

MAN: “I had to file my own personal bankruptcy and had to close my business.”

WOMAN: “Here I am. No healthcare and a slashed pension.”
WOMAN: “I just lost my job recently.”

WOMAN: “I have to work part-time in order to make ends meet.”

MAN: “Sometimes I feel like I’m a failure.”

At the end, text reads: “No, Mr. President, We Are Not ‘Doing Fine.'”
