Robert Rubin was Clinton’s Treasury Secretary. After the end of the Clinton Administration, he became chairman of Citigroup. In that role, he attempted to convince Bush’s Treasury people to pressure Moody’s and other credit rating services to not downgrade Enron’s debt. This would have allowed Citi to offload their bad Enron debt to unsuspecting buyers. The ethics of this are questionable at best. There’s much more to it than that, Google Enron Robert Rubin for details. Is this what you were thinking of?

Yes, and it was the instant that the Bush Treasury Department said NO that Enron became synonymous with Bush. However, note that these liberals can't get through Congress, the Treasury Department or even the Federal Reserve without tripping all over themselves to bail out the subprime mortgages scandal... NO attachment to President Bush so far on this one...

Just as the liberals took up for that 'oil for rotten food' scam... it was their self made scam as was Enron but they lost control of getting it 'bailed' out and then is when Enron became the epitome of evil. Had Gore won election 2000 Enron would have been made whole... carbon credits and all.
