>>That the House, Senate and WH were controlled by Democrats is a fact, not something made up.<< Almost correct. The White House and House were controlled by Democrats. The Democrats had a majority in the Senate, but lacking enough seats to overcome filibusters. They really can't be realistically said to have been in control of the Senate during that period. Unless you were paying no attention at all to what was happening in the Senate during that period, you must have noticed some of this.
