Bernanke and Paulson (not the Dems on Capitol Hill) have already said that the bailout plan would not necessarily exclude:

mortgage backed securities held by Chinese foreign banks

securities backed by student loans

securities backed by credit card debt.

It may have been just an oversight, but no one has yet asked whether the Treasury would be buying securities backed by torn-up Lotto tickets.

According to reports, it was the dems that pushed for those things to be included. They were not included in the original draft from what I understand.
