I think Lunar makes a good comparison.
A lot of people here were dead set against Petraeus due to ideology and partisanship. Liberals/Democrats were against him because they were against the war and as a matter of ideology believed it could not be salvaged. Conservatives/Republicans were against changing strategies because they were in the tank partisans for Bush/Rumsfeld and those who did end up supporting Petraeus did so only because they would follow Bush's new strategy as blindly as they followed his old strategy.
Some people oppose this bailout because they hate Bush. Some oppose it because they hate corporations. Some oppose it because they hate government intervention in the marketplace. No one is a partisan for Ben Bernanke, so he gets no love except from those who actually know a little something about economics.
