"...We would not have a consumer agency if it were not for President Obama. Two years ago, right about now, he looked out and said the consumer agency, that‘s what I want to put in financial regulatory reform. Over the next year, while everybody fought back and forth over the regular reform bill, there were a lot of offers on the table to get something else if you‘d kill the consumer agency or if you‘d weaken it. He consistently said no. And a year ago right now, this week, he signed into law a bill that made this consumer agency exist and as strong and independent way...I want to be clear, the reason I cannot run this agency is because of those people. They‘ve made it perfectly clear they are not going to let this agency go forward if I‘m there—fine. I can step away from this. What I care about is this agency."
