The Democrats did not have majorities in the House and Senate for very long-- about twenty-two months total. Mr. Obama took office in January 2009 when both the house and senate were majority Democrats. But by November 2010, when the mid-term elections took place, the House changed control to the Republicans. And the Democrats still maintained a slim majority in the Senate.

If you are referring to the Speaker of the House (the leader of the House of Representatives in Congress), that person comes from whichever party is in the majority. When the Democrats were in the majority in the House, his Speaker was Nancy Pelosi.

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.
