| Description | WASHINGTON - There's nothing like a good photo op to revive a slumping politician.
On a day of ceremony and substance opening the Democratic-controlled Congress, lawmakers flocked from their real swearing-in, which was held in groups in the House and Senate chambers, to a pretend one in front of the cameras.
