Michael Capuano actually said...

No, this wasn't hurried because of Chris Dodd; this was hurried because a whole range of people, beginning with Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke, the Bush appointees who initiated our efforts here, said you really need to get this done quickly; because we were told by the financial community correctly that uncertainty was a problem and to prolong this for another year or so would have added to that uncertainty.

Context

Capuano explains urgency in financial decisions due to uncertainty in the market.
