I thought it was up to congress, why has the President submitted a budget?

It's merely a wish list. And in Obambi's case, it is Dead On Arrival.

So all those trees had to die for nothing?

But seriously, From what I’v been reading, I thought it was more than wishful thinking. At this point I consider him a lame duck. Why would he ever assume that anyone would even read this thing? Does he have to sign off on whatever budget congress submits? just curious. Thanks for enlightening me! :)
