Didn't JP Morgan take $20 + billion in the 2008 Bank Bailout.
I don't think much choice was given in the matter behind the scenes and their takeover of Bear Stears was somewhat of a forced marraige to help stem the tide. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they came off bad, they came out of the crisis in a better position than ever, but their "acceptance" of the bailout money wasn't entirely on them. The world was about to implode in that moment in history and public/private coordination was not normal.
All that aside, his point is certainly valid. He doesn't seem to have been speaking from a "woe is me" perspective, but from a business perspective with respect to the economy as a whole, not just JPM.

Actually, JPM was forced to take $25 billion...paid it all back to the Fed Gov't plus 2 billion dollars in interest a year later.
All the banks took fed money and almost all paid it back.
