I have gotten disturbed at some of the Democrats' anti-business behavior, the sentiment, the attacks on work ethic and successful people. I think it's very counter-productive.

We don't think there are cases where people were evicted out of homes when they shouldn't have been.

From my point of view, the American financial system - including banks and investment banks - is far safer because of capital and liquidity requirements. Despite all the turbulence so far this year, I don't think anyone's questioning our system. And that, obviously, is a good thing.

I'm a really big believer - this is not a statement about President [Barack] Obama, but whoever is president - that good policy is really important.

I believe it's a good thing that people say, "Can we find a way to live together in peace?" And they did, for the most part.

As a matter of fact 25% of our U.S. investment banking business comes out of our commercial bank. So it's a competitive advantage for both the investment bank - which gets a huge volume of business - and the commercial bank because the commercial bank can walk into a company and say, "Oh, if you need X, Y and Z in Japan or China, we can do that for you."

The government has the right to change laws and rules and regulations.
