WASHINGTON - FEBRUARY 01: U.S. House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. John Spratt (D-SC) holds up copies of the FY2011 budget proposal after he received them from White House Office of Management and Budget during a photo-op in front of the U.S. Capitol February 1, 2010 in Washington, DC. President Barack Obama released the details of his budget for FY2010 today.


Senate employees use mechanical dollies to carry copies of U.S. President Barack Obama's FY2011 Budget past dozens of journalists and into the Senate Budget Committee hearing room on Capitol Hill February 1, 2010 in Washington, DC.

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's alright..


And here are a bunch of pictures of DC's favorite stud, Peter Orszag that I'm posting just because I think it's a hoot that WH budget director has become a celebrity.
Peter Orszag, Director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget, is pictured at the White House speaking live on a U.S. television network, February 1, 2010. President Barack Obama on Monday projected the U.S. budget deficit would soar to a fresh record in 2010, challenging his push for fiscal responsibility while driving to defeat double-digit unemployment.

The National Debt Clock is shown Monday, Feb. 1, 2010 in New York. President Barack Obama sent Congress a $3.83 trillion budget on Monday that would pour more money into the fight against high unemployment, boost taxes on the wealthy and freeze spending for a wide swath of government programs. The deficit for this year would surge to a record-breaking $1.56 trillion. The Debt Clock is a privately funded estimate of the national debt.

U.S. President Barack Obama wants to end NASA's moon program, turn over space transportation to commercial companies and jump-start technologies needed for future human exploration of Mars and other destinations, officials said on February 1, 2010. The plan is part of Obama's budget for the fiscal year to September 30, 2011, which was unveiled on Monday and must be approved by the U.S. Congress.
