Notes: The campaign continues to hammer away at the theme that under Obama the economy is not working, using the chorus of voices approach in this video.  Interestingly the fourth person to speak is wearing a UAW T-shirt; there's also a veteran shown.  Most of the video consists of medium close up shots of people speaking to the camera, but later in the video faces are shown with audio.  There do not appear to be any minority faces included.
