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

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.

The corporation contributed $532,000 in unregulated "soft money" to Democratic coffers during the 2000 election, only slightly less than the $623,000 that went to GOP groups, according to PoliticalMoneyLine
