Richard Shelby actually said...

"We should not keep banks operating that are insolvent."

"The Bush Administration, Secretary Paulson, Chairman Bernanke, misled the people, the Congress and the people of the United States."

"I opposed the TARP program. I knew it was flawed then. We all know it now."

"We need to be vigilant, I believe, that banks are not pressured to lend to politically favored borrowers, either side."
