  1:09 web video from June 11, 2012.

[Music]

    TEXT: Romney wants to cut jobs
    for firefighters,
    police officers,
    and teachers
    Jobs we need to help grow the economy  

Romney (clip): He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers—did he not get the message of Wisconsin?  The American people did.  It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people... [cheers, applause]

    TEXT: A plan too extreme, even for Tea Party Governor Scott Walker

Gov. Walker: Our reforms allowed us to protect fire fighters, police officers and teachers; that's not what I think when I think of big government.

    TEXT: But today, the Romney campaign doubled down

Clip from MSNBC
Newswoman: Do you think that taxpayers in this country want to hear fewer fire fighters, fewer teachers, fewer police officers I guess from a strategic standpoint?
Former Gov. Sununu: If there's fewer kids, if there's fewer kids in the classroom, the taxpayers really do want to hear that there will be fewer teachers, absolutely, and people ought to stop jumping on it as a gaffe and understand there's wisdom in the comment.

    TEXT: Romney Economics 
    Fewer Teachers
    Fewer Firefighters
    Fewer Police Officers
Newswoman: Fewer teachers, fewer firefighters, fewer police officers...

Notes: This is the third Obama video centered around the Romney quote.
