i'm not well-versed on the full particulars of the bailout, but it's my understanding that she was part of committee vs. a dictator making singular rulings about the banks. i do know republicans and the banks were very much against her inclusion in the process, so i'd have to assume that she herself at least had issues with the bailout despite it going through. if she was pro-bailout i'd think those banks would have been happy to have her involved. just my thoughts.
