ANALYSIS: Obama's budget proposal a fiscal plan or campaign document?
President Barack Obama's new budget lays down the political themes he will pound as he campaigns for re-election — more spending on jobs and higher taxes for the wealthy. It sets him apart from the Republican contenders and gives Democrats a platform to run on.
