Obama Budget.JPEG-08f65.jpg
In this Feb. 4, 2014, photo, President Barack Obama speaks at Buck Lodge Middle School in Adelphi, Md. Six years into his presidency, Obama is unveiling a budget on Tuesday, March 4, 2014, that for once does not herald a partisan legislative showdown. There's no push to overhaul health care as he did in 2009, no drive as in 2010 to restrict Wall Street, or to increase taxes as in 2011 and 2012, or to halt automatic spending cuts as in 2013.

FILE - In this Nov. 13, 2012 file photo, then-Rep.-elect Gloria Negrete McLeod, D-Calif. is seen on stage during a news conference with newly elected Democratic House members on Capitol Hill in Washington. It took barely a year in Congress for McLeod to decide that she could do more for her California constituents by serving in country government. One of 38 members of the House not to seek re-election, six of them from California, Negrete McLeod has quickly become frustrated with the gridlock on Capitol Hill.
