WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- President Obama will deliver his budgetary love note to the U.S. Congress around Feb. 14, about a week later than planned, an administration official said.
The delay was caused by the six weeks it took the U.S. Senate to confirm budget director Jack Lew, and by issues left hanging from the lame-duck session, such as passing a continuing resolution keep government operating until March instead of for the entire fiscal year, Politico reported Tuesday.
