    President Obama became President in 2009

    Feb 2009 proposed FY2010 budget and passed by Congress in April 2009
    Feb 2010 proposed FY2011 budget but fails to pass Congress
    Feb 2011 proposed FY2012 budget
    Feb 2012 proposes FY2013 budget
    April 2013 proposes FY2014 budget
    March 2014 proposes FY2015 budget
    March 2015 proposes FY2016 budget
    Feb 2016 proposes final FY2017 budget

    Obama never failed to propose a budget that was not consistently on time but that does not necessarily mean that it was passed due to opposition from Democrats and/or Republicans.

    I know there were years where the US gov't was so dysfunctional it did not have a working budget. It seems the Gov't continued operating via non stop Continuing Resolutions (CR) as the two parties could not work together.

      How to Make America LAST

      White House to ask for 72 percent cut in renewable energy programs


      The draft documents obtained by the Post also contain sharp reductions in research spending, including an 82 percent cut to research on fuel efficient vehicles, an 82 percent cut on research into bioenergy technologies and a 78 percent cut for solar energy technology research.


      It would also slash funding for research into alternative energy sources like wind, hydro and geothermal power.

        what you are failing to note is PER the Constitution .. a budget has to be filed by FEBRUARY ..something Obama FAILED to do every year. Yes there has been opposition from BOTH sides of the isles.

            In every year except 2009 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed, AKA Dingy Harry, never allowed the budget bill to come to the Senate floor for a vote.

              That's because the Republicans controlled the House.
              Obama submitted Budgets EVERY YEAR approval is a different matter. Move ON lets talk TRUMPO Budget

              Trump reportedly seeks massive budget cuts to clean energy research
              A draft budget proposal includes a 72 percent cut to certain Energy Department funds.

                  but no one mentions that Harry had over 400 bills left on his desk when he had to step down when Mitch " da bitch" took over!

                    Ok. I did not know that. I think budgets are VERY political (but necessary) documents that almost always get caught up in partisan turf battles. Nor are these battles unique to the USA.

                            Paul Ryan seems to revel in making life as difficult as possible for the most vulnerable people. I will never forget when they were discussing taking health care away from millions of people he had the biggest grin on his face it almost made me sick to my stomach.

                              You say 'taking away' as if those very people are not being forced to buy it. That odd. Like 'taking away' ghettos from the Jews.

                                You seem to be ignoring the fact that it gave more people access to medicare and medicaid. And they were taking that away.
