Checked out the link... interesting read. Interesting because, considering the plethora of stupid shit that man said in his 8 years as President, people actually bother to take time to make stuff up. Anyway, thanks for the update, I'll remove that notion from my vernacular immediately.
Wikiquote seems to disagree (although it mentions it was said behind closed doors...).
Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's just a goddamned piece of paper!

What? Read the article. The person who committed the act of stupidity is the person paying for it. This is the way it has to be.
If the banks payed for the stupidity of this man there'd be no incentive not to be stupid.
I work for an international bank and I can assure you we take phishing attacks on our customers very seriously. Almost all banks have an email address where you can forward phishing emails or websites to. I'll agree there is some blame to be put on the users, but the banks should not be off the hook. Banks have the man power and clout to actually shut these sites down.
So, they want to invade privacy in what should be an illegal manner and they want me to pay them to do it?
Well, when you say it like that, it just sounds stupid.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
