.........................................
It did not happen by accident. It didn't just happen. It happened because of the greed, the recklessness and the illegal behavior of Wall Street; of CEOs there who converted our financial institutions into the largest gambling casino in the history of the world.

One of major functions of the Fed is to protect the safety and soundness of our financial institutions. THERE CAN BE NO DEBATE, Mr. Bernanke as Chairman of the Fed FAILED at that important job and this country and the world almost saw a major financial collapse and we have seen in this country a horrendous recession.

I think ordinary people do not understand -- average American citizens have a hard time understanding -- how we reward failure; how we say to somebody who was asleep at the switch in terms of regulating our financial institutions:

"Congratulations, you failed, there's a major recession, you're getting reappointed."

I don't think people understand why and how that should happen.
