The change of administrations appears to have benefitted both parties with job approval for congressional Democrats rising from 37 percent to 47 percent since December, and by 25 percent to 36 percent for Republicans, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Feb. 20-22. For the GOP, that's their highest mark since Oct. 2005 when they scored 38 percent.
"These increases suggest that both parties have benefitted perceptually from the change in government from the Bush administration to the Obama administration," Gallup said, even though Republicans are standing in opposition to most of Obama's proposals.

Perhaps if is good for the Democrats to finally control everything
so there is the hopeful perception that "maybe" they will do something that their Democratic supporters want.
Where the GOP in Congress is concerned, a party that actually "acts as the loyal opposition " is always doing the right thing for their own interests. Too bad the Democrats didn't act as a check and balance against Bush during the 110th Congress. Oh well, they now have a chance to make up for it.
Obama said,"no one is above the law”
SO Congress must demand & the Justice Dept must appoint a Special Prosecutor
with Subpoena Powers & authority to indict
all found to have violated Federal Laws, Constitution or Geneva Convention on Torture.
The State of Limitations starts to run out in March. Prosecution will stop unnecessary wars & damage to our economy caused by presidential lies & Abuse Of Power. Bush & Cheney confessed that they ordered torture. Sen. Leahy & Rep. John Conyers' "commissions" will be nothing but a white wash and a burial for all time of the true facts.
