"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."
"The American people, as you well know right now--you can see it in polls, you can just go home, any of us can--they don't trust the TARP program."
"I think that the TARP program was induced by panic."
"We need to be vigilant, I believe, that banks are not pressured to lend to politically favored borrowers, either side."
"I don't believe that the Congress should try to fool the American people."
"Trust in the banking system, especially Wall Street banks right now, it doesn't exist."
"We used to look at Wall Street and say they were the smartest people in the world. Now, that has been doubted today in a lot of ways."
"I voted against the TARP because Treasury's warnings and promises seemed calculated to induce panic rather than to ensure proper stewardship of taxpayer dollars."
"Americans have a right to know, I believe, where their money went and whether it is working, which many are doubtful."
"I am concerned, especially given the limited life of the TARP program, that employees of TARP may be facing significant... conflicts of interest."
