Bingo. And that is what the establishment Republicans want. Congress will have "supported" any action, in the sense that support = an absence of opposition. Given that the Senate, the minority leadership in the house, the majority leadership in the house -- all actively support action (probably, in the case of the senate) -- this spin will give the president all the cover he needs.
