Not factual errors per se, just distortions. It seemed to me she was glossing over the impact of the recession on the spikes in unemployment and budget deficit and trying to create the impression the O administration was responsible.

Her statements were "under Bush" we had such and such followed by "under Obama, however, we have such and such. It was an attempt to draw contrasts between the two administrations without mentioning fully the intervening recession and near banking collapse.

Spin is kind of like that old definition of obscenity...'I can't define it but I know it when I see it'. I saw spin in her speech and it annoyed me. That's all.
