Democrats had a 60 seat majority from September 24, 2009 thru February 4, 2010. 4 months; not 2 years
Democrats lost their 60 seat majority when Republican Scott Brown of Massachusetts was sworn into office in February of 2010.
This does not account for the number of days Congress was not in session during that time. If one subtracts the number of days Congress was out, the time that President Obama had a Democratic majority in Congress is further reduced by more than 30 days, or another full month.
Of a possible 94 legislative days during that period, the Senate was only in session for 67 days, while the House labored for 54.

Especially considering they deemed bills "passed", without the needed votes.

Exactly and Brown was a Senator so they lost their maj in the Senate only. If you cant get one GOP member in one branch of the legislature on you side that says something about your ability to compromise
