White House: GOP 'party of no detail'

The Republican Party has gone from the "party of no'' to 'the party of no detail,' says Peter Orszag, the White House budget director.

Fine bipartisan talk from the Obama White House, yes?

Orszag, appearing on Bloomberg Television's Political Capital With Al Hunt today, was talking about the "alternative budget'' that Republican leaders proposed this week - the counterpoint to the $3.55-trillion Obama budget for 2010 that the GOP has criticized so much.

The GOP leadership's alternative budget has been lambasted for a dearth of detail, a conceptual statement more than a blueprint.

But Orszag, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, wasn't much kinder about Boehner's "budget.''

"I think it's the first budget that doesn't have any numbers in it,'' Orszag said on Hunt's show. "There is no detail. There is no specifics as to, you know, even where the deficit would be. So perhaps we've moved from the party of 'no' to the party of 'no detail.'"
