“zer0 mention we need a new process ... LOL”
The process always works when we have Predidents that understand (a) the House controls the purse strings, (b) you have to negotiate to get anything, (c) you can’t ever get all you want, (d) the House has no Constitutional, moral or political obligation to give a President anything it does not chose to give.
When Presidents understand that they get at least part of what they want.
Obama has been creating 11th hour budget crisis for five years, to avoid negotiating over the priorties set in 2009 by the Pelosi Democrats, preferring instead NO overall budget agreement but just additional raises of the federal debt limit each year so that obama can keep spending the on 2009 bugdet basis with its automatic annual increases - until he creates a new 11th hour crisis and demand for a debt ceiling increase the next year.
Now it is mere appearance that he wants a complete budget bill, when he and Reid say they want a “clean” and “complete” bill. It is mere appearance and it translates as “you (Boehner) and the House give me what Harry Reid can deliver or I won’t sign it.

Post bears repeating - and repeating - the Dems have no budget for years because they wanted the continuing/ renewal of that 2009 budget.
My goodness will wonders ever cease, my local news radio just told the truth. Am flabbergasted!
