You must not have been paying attention during the initial playout of the Enron debacle. Enron came to the Bush administration folks with a request for a bale out or some sort of assistance to avoid bankruptcy; an assist they apparently had every reason to expect to be viewed favorably based on their relationship with the previous administration (that would be Clinton).

The Bush people declined to help.

BS. Nobody has been jailed for the conspiracy to defraud. A few minor fines and back to business as usual. I'd call that a lot of help.

Not only so, but Enron began scamming its investors during the Clinton Administration--by the time Bush took office Enron's stockholders had already been cheated, and just didn't know it.
