And it's not a bailout, it's a loan.

Bailout(n) - a rescue, especially a financial rescue.
GM was bailed out by the government because they rescued them finanically. You can call it a loan if you want, but it was a loan that GM had to have or else they'd have gone under. So, it is essentially still a bailout because the government is saving GM. Both GM and the banks were bailed out; however, the terms of what happens after are both different. They were both bailed out.
