President Obama’s budget will probably be released in March, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday, but has been delayed in part by “manufactured crises” including sequestration.
“The series of manufactured crises around budget issues, certainly has resulted at least in part in those experts in the administration who work on those issues having to spend a lot of time dealing with those crises rather than on that,” Carney said during his daily briefing. “But that’s part of the job and they’re working on the budget.”
31 USC § 1105 - Budget contents and submission to Congress:
(a) On or after the first Monday in January but not later than the first Monday in February of each year, the President shall submit a budget of the United States Government for the following fiscal year. Each budget shall include a budget message and summary and supporting information.
If they weren't so busy threatening journalists, perhaps we could get Obama and his administration to submit a budget, as required by law.

Either they are ignorant morons, which... does hold some strong potential... OR... they are merely rubbing it in your face that he can do whatever he wants. How is that quota system working out for you?
I have this fantasy about attending a White House press briefing, with a bag of rotten tomatoes.
