President Obama called the House Republicans budget a failure Tuesday and said it would spur a “major debate” with his administration over the coming months.

The president said he was “hoping for a little luck of the Irish” with the the GOP budget proposal for fiscal 2016 being introduced on St. Patrick’s Day.
