During much of President Bush's administration, congress was controlled by Republicans. That changed, however, with the 110-111 congress (Jan-04,2007 - Dec-22,2010), at which time, both the house and the senate now had a majority of Democrats. But although Barack Obama had a Democratic congress for the first year and a half of his presidency (Jan 2009 to Nov 2010), that changed in the 2010 midterm elections. Ever since Jan-05, 2011, the 112th congress was divided: it had a majority of Democrats in the Senate and a Republican majority in the House.
They did, but not for very long. In 2009 and until the November 2010 election, the Democrats had majorities in the House and Senate. But in that midterm election, they lost their majority in the House.
For a brief time when the president took office in January 2009, his party (the Democrats) had majorities in both the House and the Senate. But in November 2010, the Republicans regained the majority in the House, while the Democrats kept their slight majority in the Senate.
President George W. Bush had a Republican-controlled congress for the first six years of his presidency. Then, the Democrats took control of congress in 2006, so when President Obama took office in 2008, he was working with a Democratic House and Senate. (It should be noted that this did not last; in the 2010 mid-term elections, the Republicans won control of the House, while the Democrats maintained control of the Senate.)

In 2010, the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives, and that is still the case as we move towards the 2012 elections.
President George W. Bush had a Republican-controlled House and Senate from January 20, 2001 to January 3, 2007.
Not for very long. They had a majority from January 2009 till November 2010.
