Democrats control congress with blank scorecard

Since the Democrats took majority control of congress in January, they have yet to show a desire to govern.

The House passed bills raising the minimum wage, promoting stem cell research and providing student loan breaks.

The Senate passed only one -- the minimum wage hike -- and it's hung up over disagreements on the size of small business tax breaks to include.

That means the Democrat controlled Congress is batting zero.

Maybe the Democrats like it that way.

When South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle (pictured) was Senate Majority Leader, before losing his re-election bid in 2004, the Senate was virtually deadlocked.

Daschle led filibusters along with other blocking tactics kept legislative action at a near standstill.

Legislative action in the Senate is back to where it was in 2003 and 2004.
