I would imagine this video will make its way around the liberal blogosphere. The Democratic National Committee is trying to fund raise off of the alternative budget the GOP presented last week.
The web ad pokes fun a the Republicans’ outline for being light on specifics. Check it out below.
UPDATE: Check out the DNC’s email after the jump.

Can you guess how many numbers are in the glossy new GOP budget?
The answer is zero.
As Congress prepares for a crucial vote on President Obama’s budget this Thursday, Republican leaders have been plotting an all-out effort to block it without offering a single specific idea of their own. But we can’t allow them to obstruct progress with hollow rhetoric.
The President has proposed an honest budget that focuses on our most pressing national priorities — renewable energy, affordable health care, and a better education for our children.
Change won’t come easy, but President Obama knows that we can succeed if we come together around a truthful budget rather than a phony one that lacks any numbers or specific ideas.
With your donation, we can use the next two days to show members of Congress and all Americans that shiny budget report covers simply won’t cut it — we need a real budget that can offer us real results:

You helped elect President Obama because you rejected partisan rancor and empty promises.
Now it’s time to follow through and show what real leadership looks like.
Thank you,
