GOP making a mess for incoming Democratic Majority
The GOP plan is to stretch current funding amounts until Feb. 15, leaving for the new Democratic leaders the problem of how to deal with tough spending and deficit issues.

Top Democratic leaders blasted Republicans for leaving behind more than $460 billion in unfinished budget business that promises to clutter the Democratic agenda early next year.

"They are going to leave a mess as they go out," said Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "It's been a do-nothing Congress and as they go out the door they are going to validate the decision of the American people that change was necessary."

Dems could just wrap everything they want into an omnibus bill, then drop it on *'s desk just before midnight on the 15th, and dare him to veto it.

4. I think he has enough trouble with the English Language
although if they don't add lots of pictures and graphs, it will be very tough for him.
