233 to 230 in the House.  Dead even in the Senate unless you count the 
Independants as Dems (Liberman, for example).

The fuss was that they finally, after quite a few years, had a simple 
majority AND, silly them, thought they could get enough other folks to vote 
with them.  Well, as soon as the tide turned, the majority of the folks who 
used to vote about the subject and not about the Party, changed back to 
voting along straight party lines.

Wow. I thought they did have a 2/3 voting majority. So what was all the fuss 
about in '06? Did they just break 50% and want the public to think they had 
control? I don't get it.

I pretty much believe all of the above. It is one of my pet peeves that we 
blame presidents for things, when the roots of problems can usually be found 
in another administration. Those roots pass by unnoticed until later. It is 
one of the reasons I don't bash too much-I can't be sure of who is really to 
blame.
