I think you guys are missing the point. It doesn't matter who the President is, it doesn't matter what the bill is or the issue was. When the media reports on it being a "victory" or a "defeat" for the President, it's purely focusing on the horse race, the partisan politics involved and the "score" between Team R and Team D.
Whether or not you think a given piece of legislation is good or bad, when the news media reports on its passing or failure as a "victory" or "defeat" for the sitting President or the political party that backed it, that's trash journalism. That's crap that hurts the country. It's focusing on the spectacle of politics that's become a stupid sideshow and it neglects to inform people about what's really going on in terms of the laws that will affect them.
