This is an interesting bit of information that you don't hear much about.

A... Enron's chairman did meet with the president and the vice president in the Oval Office.

B.. Enron gave $420,000 to the president's party over three years.

c.. It donated $100,000 to the president's inauguration festivities.

d.. The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times.

e.. The corporation had access to the administration at its highest levels and even enlisted the Commerce and State Departments to grease deals for it.

f.. The taxpayer-supported Export-Import Bank subsidized Enron for more than $600 million in just one transaction. Scandalous!!

BUT...the president under whom all this happened WASN'T George W. Bush.

SURPRISE ......... It was Bill Clinton!

Please pass this on so the whole Country will know. The Media Won't!

Ken Lay was on Teresa Heinz Kerry's foundation Board of Directors for 10 years.

Even better. I was reading "First off the Tee" a book written about golfing presidents from McKinley to W. Clinton's first major golf outing was a weekend in Colorado with Nicklaus, Ford and a businessman from Texas, who was the guest of the new president, Ken Lay. Funny you never read that in the press.

I remembered something about that outing a few weeks ago and googled it, it was. the actual event was 5 items down, the 4 before it were claimed to be urban legends.
