Somewhere, a campaign staffer is probably getting an earful for this. In a new web ad, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann says "very high employment" is a problem facing the nation.

"As a nation, we can't settle either," Bachmann says in the video, shot last week after she spoke at Liberty University in Virginia. "We see that our nation is on the ropes right now. On the ropes economically, with very high employment."

Hey, it happens.
