I should clarify, once the Dems took control of the House, there was no talk at all that they weren't in control. Speaker Pelosi has always had strong control of the House.
In the Senate, it's far more difficult. The Dems took a 51-49 lead, and although that looks like a majority, the GOP effectively filibustered all important bills that came to the Senate floor, forcing the Dems to get 60 votes to pass any legislation. So although the Dems were in the majority, they didn't exactly have "control."
This year, however, with (soon to be) 59 seats to the GOP's 41, the dems will have far more control in the Senate.
