RNC pounds Obama over economic comments, says they 'aren't gaffes'

(CNN) - The Republican National Committee on Tuesday will launch a new attack campaign against President Barack Obama, targeting the president over his comments on the economy and record of job creation.

Using a web video, "These aren't gaffes," supplemented by a research piece, the RNC will focus on the president's recent "build that" remark and resurrects a comment he made in June in which he said the private sector was "doing fine" compared to the public sector.
