Notes: This video continues Romney's focus on the economy. The DNC responded with a fact check which included the following summary:

Mitt Romney released another video attacking President Obama on the economy today - a curious approach from an individual who has embraced the very failed economic policies of the last decade which nearly sank our economy into a second Great Depression and who was an unqualified failure on the issue of jobs as Governor of Massachusetts. So, as Mitt Romney continues to attack the President and hold himself out as someone who can lead on the economy we have a few questions reporters and voters should be asking him followed by a fact check on the video released today:

What about finishing 47th out of 50 in job creation as Governor of Massachusetts makes you qualified to lead on the issue of jobs?

As Governor, you lost manufacturing jobs at twice the national rate. Why would Americans want a person with that record of failure at the helm of our economy?

You claim to have a vision for the American economy but have simply embraced the failed policies of the last decade that resulted in the worst financial crisis in decades. If those failed policies didn't work for America then why are you embracing them now?
