No Longer A Rumor: Obama 2013 Budget To Be Delayed
The Congressional Budget Act requires the president's budget to be sent to Congress by the first Monday in February. This year that's February 6.
As of Friday night that was still the date. But something may have changed over the weekend because there's what I'll call a strong rumor that the White House is on the verge of delaying the release. No word on for how long or why.
I'm guessing it will be no more than a week or so. More as soon as there's more.
UPDATE: The one-week delay until February 13 has now been announced.

What about past years?
I've seen complaints that Obama has never released a budget. True or false?
Totally untrue
He's submitted a budget every year of his presidency.
