I think a potential profit on the bailout illustrates the absurdity in Obama's claim that it saved us from the brink or a great depression. Whatever the amount, it is such a trivial amount compared to the economy, housing or the financial sector it defies any rational explanation for how it actually saved anything or than a selected few that should have been allowed to fail.
And, the potential profit and the time frame illustrates that the bailout would have and could have been handled by the private sector. When there are assets and enterprise values, investors will step in at the right price to earn a potential profit commiserate with the risk.
