I'm on my cell phone and I'm not so good with links. I should provide them and normally would. Its not hard to look up the bail out history though. It was initially defeated. Wall Street threw a hissy fit and D.C. cowared down and relented.
They then went after Robert Bennett (R) who was the highest ranking (R) member of the banking commission and defeated him. Rightly so.
