From The Daily Caller via Charlie Sykes: Carney was asked by Jake Tapper of ABC News about that comment, and whether the president agrees with Bernanke, or with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has said it is not necessary to pass a budget this year.
“I have no opinion, the White House has no opinion on Chairman Bernanke’s assessment of how the Senate ought to do it’s business,” said Carney. “What the president believes is important is that the Budget Control Act that was signed into law last year provides the top line spending caps for the coming budget and he will obviously meet those in the budget proposal he puts forward.”
Johnson didn’t appreciate Carney’s remark.
“It should be a national scandal to think that the largest national entity in the world doesn’t even have a national budget,” said Johnson, “and one American party is afraid to show the American public what their plan to solve the debt and deficit issue is. It’s really jaw dropping.”
If it were a Republican-controlled Senate, Johnson opined, all the news outlets would be furiously covering the story.
“The comparison I would make is during the Iran Hostage Crisis, every national news outlet had a counter of the number of days that Americans were being held hostage in Iran. If we were a Republican senate, that’d be about the same thing –you’d see that 1,015 days behind newscasters,” Johnson said. “But nobody’s making a big deal because it’s a Senate controlled by Democrats.”

Once again, the supposed leader of the U.S. Senate, Crybaby Harry Reid abuses the Constitution for political purposes. You also see the lap dogs of the media refuse to report on stories like this.
Hey, Matt Ward of the Pahrump Valley Times, why don't you ask your buddy and hero, Crybaby Reid about this?
Merry Christmas!
