Or, maybe it's because he holds the office of the presidency. I mean did the media give Clinton a break on the Lewinsky scandal? I think not. Also he (Bush) was one of the most vocal supporters of this bill, and his own party was for the most part opposing this bill, this was a really big story.

Well I didn't hear any Democrat or Republican (And that includes Kennedy and McCain) cheer for this bill as loudly as Bush did. I believe he was the reason why this bill was given a second chance.

BTW, They? Who's they?

The congressional approval rating isn't that much lower than the president's. Depending on the poll, Congress hovers around the high to mid 20s, whereas the president is around the low 30s, high 20s region.
Bush: Job Ratings
Congress: Job Ratings

Plus, a 51% majority in the Senate isn't anything to brag about. (House Democrats also don't have much to gloat over either.) It's not like they can override a veto, or even get the 60 votes needed to end a debate on a bill. (Which is what ultimately killed the immigration bill.) Now, if you separate the Dems and the G.O.P., the approval rating for Democrats in Congress is actually higher than the rating for Republicans; though to be honest, the ratings for both parties and the president are just pitiful.
Congress: Democrats
Congress: Republicans
Obama is a Socialist, racist Muslim who will tax us to death and McCain is a senile warmonger who will start WW3- Failtards.

"Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it."-Sen. John McCain, February 2000.

I miss the old McCain...
