Looks to me like a silly partisan "gotcha" game over a statement that was poorly phrased, but not far from correct.

It's an indefensible gaffe....
She cited that the companies had "gotten too expensive to the taxpayers" as the reason for the bailouts.
It wasn't a poorly phrased statement, it was a poorly thought and factually incorrect statement. If people start excusing her lack of understanding it smells intellectually dishonest to me.
