Oh, and for the record, my Scandinavian heritage makes me as white as white can be.

Agreed......but Obama holds the record for the most flagrant and eggregious disregard of law related to the timely submission of budgets, while blaming others(House GOP) for being fiscally irresponsible in the execution of Congressional responsibilities. Similarly, Harry Reid has violated the law by failing to submit Senate Budgets for the past three years. Both Obama and Reid are partisan hypocrites that shirk their responsibilities.
"Despite trillion-dollar deficits and a growing urgency for Washington to put its fiscal house in order, President Obama continues to demonstrate an unprecedented disrespect for his legal obligations. A review of the historical record reveals that no administration has so flagrantly ignored its budgetary roles and responsibilities. The House Budget Committee has compiled a chronological review of Presidential budget submissions dating back to 1923. Several key points from the data:
•
In just one term, President Obama has missed the budget deadline more than any other President.
•
In the 90 years covering FY1923 through FY 2013, President Obama is the only President to miss the deadline two years in a row. He is the only President who has missed the deadline in three of the four years of a term. And, he holds the record for the longest delay (at 98 days).
•
Since the statutory deadline was extended to the first Monday in February, with the exception of the first budget for a new President, this deadline has only been missed three times: Clinton FY1998; Obama FY2012; and Obama FY 2013."
