Says who?
over an energy corporation whose collapse cost employees millions of dollars in savings,
Are you saying it is his fault?
Blah...blah...
I could go on but if I want to read a NY Times editorial I will do that.
Talk about bias, first line in the story-- of course he only did it out of fear -- what's their source on Presidential fear?
"AP White House Correspondent Ron Fournier goes over notes, 1998. Fournier came to Washington with President Clinton in 1993 from AP's Little Rock bureau. Fournier joined the AP in 1989 after working for the Arkansas Democrat and the Hot Springs (Ark.) Sentinel-Record."
Need we say more?
You're right. I'll fix it. Thanks
The story does not end there. In 1991-92, Enron donated $28,525 to the Democratic Party and in 1993-94, it gave $42,000. These monies enabled Enron to send its executives on international tours with the late Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown in January 1995 (when Kenneth Lay came to India) and in March-April 1994 (when Chief Executive Officer of Enron International, Rodney Gray came to Russia). In the former, Enron was in negotiation for the Dabhol plant among other things (such as the $1.1 billion offshore holdings) and in the latter, Enron was interested in the marketing of Russian gas in Europe. President Clinton noted that Brown's trips resulted in "expanded opportunities for American business in [the USA] and abroad". The "pay to play" project of US "democracy" is once again in evidence. The example of Enron and Wisner proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the US state is not a neutral actor in world affairs and that US transnational corporations are part and parcel of the corruption within the US Empire. The hearings in Washington on "campaign finance reform" do not bother with this level of corruption, for most of those who are running the investigation are beholden to business interests. Enron, for instance, will not be a part of the investigation, since it is deemed to be a patriotic US entity out to create jobs for US workers and to accumulate wealth to defer the costs of the US's mercenary army.

Aren't there "any" politicians that work for "we, the people???"
The AP...Reuter's...CNN...they're all Commie SCUM!!
FReegards...MUD
BTW: The financial statements that Enron had to restate were for the PRIOR FOUR YEARS...which according to my calendar was on CLINTON'S watch. AP & the left are really streaching on this one.
It's kind of like blaming the recession (which started in the fall on 2000) on Bush's tax cut (which wasn't passed until July 2001 and for the most part hasn't even gone into effect yet)
*Snort!*
I'll bet he's Gene Lyons' butt boy!
"Need we say more?"
No...but we must continue to say it over and over and over again so even the Slower Sheeple can understand.
RAT, you payin' attention?!
FReegards...MUD
BTW...great find, AB!
