Mr. President, I am glad I got to catch a few of the tail-end remarks of my colleague from Illinois. I didn't realize what this debate was truly all about, but he made that clear. This is all about public financing of elections, according…

I really do question whether we, as well intentioned as we were, whether we got it right in Title I and Title II in terms of ending the too big to fail.

I am again looking at what is happening, or not happening, for that matter, around the country on equity fundraising.

Thank you very much for letting me be here today.

I am proud to have recommended her to President Obama.

I think you have to protect employee's rights, but we also need to be able to terminate people when they deserve to be terminated.
