Political Quotes

“Mr. President, let me clarify that my position is to ban what are called naked or synthetic credit default swaps, not ban credit default swaps. Those with no insurable interest of any kind are considered naked credit default swaps. It appears to me that 70 to 80 percent of all credit default swaps are in that category; they have no insurable interest. So I did not want the Senator to think I want to ban credit default swaps. That is not the case. Naked credit default swaps, yes.”
