A Democratic official points out that Sarah Palin's latest attack on the Obama administration's budget cuts is not quite accurate.
On Twitter, Palin writes "Here's how minuscule the White House's $775 million a year cuts are: less than 1/10 of 1% of this year's budget deficit," responding to an op-ed by Obama budget director Jacob Lew...

Palin needs to stay on the attack on issues just like this. If she does, the public will move towards her.
“Palin and admin wrangle over budget (Again, she’s on the same level as the potus)”
POTUS? Do you mean Phoney Interloper of the United States (PIOTUS)?
She’s actually way above the level of that lowlife.
Unless Congress makes SERIOUS cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, and SS, (WAY over 50% of the budget) they may as well be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Here is Sarah’s Facebook note on the subject.

The problem here is that she gave her critics ammunition by missing a critical fact: the $775 Million was not the total amount of cuts proposed, but the sum of certain proposed cuts. The result is that the story becomes her lack of familiarity with the facts instead of Obama’s anemic budget cut proposals. This was not a win for our side, but distraction that allows them to discredit our arguments.
Gov. Palin, if she officially declares herself in the race for POTUS, needs to block out all distractions and detractors and run against everything Hussein and his ilk stand for. She needs to become the grizzly and his worst nightmare 24/7/365 until the election. Let the RINOS in the race throw mud at each other. Focus on who the opposition is and attack, attack, attack relentlessly. Never give up...
Again, she is leading with her face and just begging for her argument to be discredited. The $775 Million is only the sum of certain proposed cuts, NOT the total.
Shadow POTUS strikes!
Politico and the rest of the Lame Stream are so afraid of her, you can almost see the trickle of yellow coming down their legs and making a puddle!
They fear her because she communicates AROUND their filters and speaks common sense. God bless her and her family.
Read the comments after the article.
WE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH ALL THESE PROGRAMS (cuts to addicts,extended welfare breeders,etc) BUT THEY LEFT THE BORDERS OPEN....
The job will not be done on this until ObamaCare is completely demolished.
She framed the cuts as $775 million per year. $775 million in cuts this year against a 1.6trillion deficit is chicken dung. The total Obama “tough choice cuts” added up to this. In fact, in later years, the cuts stay in but spending on other crap goes up. Obama raises taxes by 2 trillion over the next 10 years, but only gets 1.5 tril in deficit reductions.
Blog pimps are trying to parse it so it looks like she’s wrong, to no avail of course.
Let me guess: Like “business guru” Mitt Romney, right?
Well it looks like we have some feeble minded here so I’ll provide the source link which was embedded in Gov. Palin’s Note.

Looks like $770 million in hard cuts. The remaining reductions are based on spending freezes which are not really cuts at all.
