Big difference here, the money Bush sent to people was their money to begin with! The money wasn't stolen from a company that earned it and then given to people that had nothing to do with earning it. The money Bush gave out was money that Americans had given to the federal gov in the form of income taxes. Hence, "income tax rebate". Now whether or not it helped the economy, who knows? That's debatable. But fact is that money belonged to the people to begin with!
