Democrats mock GOP on budget

Democrats have been giddily calling Republicans the "party of no," accusing the GOP of opposing President Obama's budget and economic plans without offering proposals of their own.

Now, they're chortling over the alternative budget outline that House Republicans unveiled on Thursday. The GOP is warning that Obama's $3.6 trillion plan will bankrupt the country and worsen the recession with tax hikes.

But Democrats are mocking the plan for its lack of detail.

"This DNC ad is brought to you by the number 0," a new web ad by the Democratic National Committee t says on screen.

"That’s how many numbers are in the GOP’s budget: 0," painting the number in bright red.

With whimsical music, the video then shows a series of cable talking heads remarking on the absence of detail. But Republicans will see more evidence of media bias.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs joined in the mocking on Thursday. Asked whether he had perused it, he replied, "I did. It took me several minutes to read it." The White House press corps laughed.

"I will note that ... there's one more picture of a windmill than there is of a chart of numbers. There's -- just for your knowledge, there's exactly one picture of a windmill."
