Enron Also Courted Democrats

On Aug. 4, 1997, Lay and seven other energy executives met with Clinton, Gore, Rubin and other top officials at the White House to discuss the U.S. position at the upcoming conference on global warming in Kyoto, Japan. Lay, in a memo to Enron employees, said there was broad consensus in favor of an emissions-trading system.

There was a President in bed with Enron. His name is Bill Clinton.
President George W. Bush withdrew from the farcical Kyoto Treaty because he
was looking out for the best interests of the United States, NOT Enron.

And Clinton had only one person in mind when he negotiated any deals.....HIMSELF

It sure jumped out at me.
Evidently President Bush doesn't understand the strategery of that quid pro quo thingy...either that or he's just plain honest.

oooh, and I just saw a report on Fox where Clinton's former Treasury Secretary Rubin was busy securing loans to Enron right before they tanked.

My prediction is that this is going to be an albatross around the Democrats because of the Clinton's corruptness.
