didn’t the democrats take control in 2006?

Does this figure take Obama’s 2009 stimulus into account?

Yes I made a typo.

Actually, you both are incorrect - IIRC, the Dems took control in January 2007 of the House and Senate.

Also recall that the Dems took control of the Senate between 2001 and 2003, so Bush did not have control of both houses of Congress through all 8 years. Counting the complete loss of control for the last two years of his presidency, he only had control for 4 out of the 8 years.
