I congratulate the Republican leader on his remarks. Listening to him, I was wondering how Kentuckians would respond to the thought that--as we seem to be hearing now about this so-called consumer protection bureau--``We are from Washington and we are here to protect you.'' ... it is pretty clear that it has a broad reach that would touch a whole lot of people in Tennessee and Kentucky and has nothing to do with what happened on Wall Street. It is noteworthy that the most conspicuous supporter of this bill is the chairman of Goldman Sachs.
