Seems this one to me. The bank bill had a lot of head scratching, but at the time people generally hadn't grasped the situation. (And as Strongbad notes below - this one is a lot easier to grasp period)

Bank bailout. The new stimulus has something for amost everyone. People don't complain much when the gov't gives them a check. -- nm

This one. Mostly because the initial bank bailout was poorly handled -- nm

Bank bailout because they still have never answered where the money actually went. -- nm

yup, this one is an easier target because it tells you where the money is going.

The bank bailout, definitely. Among other reasons, the recent one is Obama's (at least initially) and many people are willing to go along with him

I think people were way more pissed last time. Now they're just broken, and clueless what the hell else might fix it.
