FILE - In this July 27, 2011 file photo, Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill. speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. Republicans romped last November, gaining 63 House seats to secure the majority, winning 11 governorships in places such as Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania and seizing control of most state legislative seats they've had since 1928. The GOP is capitalizing on its across-the-board control in 26 states, governor plus legislature, in the census-based drawing of a new political map that will be a decisive factor in the 2012 elections and beyond.

In this photo taken Aug. 31, 2011, President Barack Obama speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington and urged Congress to pass a federal highway bill. In his weekly radio Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011, Obama again called for the passage of a transportation bill, and express concern that "political posturing" may stand in the way. "There's no reason to cut off funding for transportation projects at a time when so many of our roads are congested, so many of our bridges are in need of repair and so many businesses are feeling the cost of delays. "This isn't a Democratic or a Republican issue — it's an American issue," he said. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File) (AP)
