FILE - In this May 4, 2010 file photo, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. With the scrawl of a pen, Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer awakened a dormant _ but politically explosive _ issue of illegal immigration, sending shock waves across the political spectrum in an election year when both parties had hoped to sidestep the topic. Two months after Brewer signed a new Arizona law instructing police to demand proof of a questionable person's legal status, voters have refocused on a topic that had faded into the background after Congress failed to overhaul the thorny immigration system in 2007.

U.S. President Barack Obama listens to a question at the Fiscal Responsibility Summit at the White House in Washington February 23, 2009. President Obama pledged on Monday to cut the ballooning U.S. budget deficit by half in the next four years and said the country would face another economic crisis if it did not address its debt problems soon. Obama, whose month-old administration has pushed through a $787 billion economic stimulus package to try to jolt the country out of recession, said the need for spending now did not mean U.S. budget problems could be put off.

FILE In this March 31, 2009, file photo, Rob Simmons talks to the Associated Press during an interview in Washington. Republicans once saddled with the burden of President George W. Bush's unpopularity are now experiencing a boon from another struggling president: Barack Obama. The GOP senses rising fortunes from coast to coast, as one-time lawmakers look to capitalize on voter frustration that booted some of them from office in 2006. Others, long retired, see the Democrats' luster fading and with it a chance for them to return to Washington. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) (Susan Walsh)
