ENRON AND THE PRESIDENT
From Tony Perkins at AlwaysOn

A post from Tony Perkins of AlwaysOn, a tech news blog community, in response to a negative attack on President Bush:


Given the fact that this blog’s author, Teds Head, is listed as a sponsor to Bill Clinton’s second inauguration committee, and in celebration of the fact that former Enron CEO, Jeff Skilling was pictured on the front page of the New York Times, I thought I would share the content of an email I just received:

Subject: Enron and the President - Lets help the media spread the truth.

This is an interesting bit of information that you don't hear much about in the media…
• Enron's chairman did meet with the president and the vice president in the Oval Office.
• Enron gave $420,000 to the president's party over three years.
• It donated $100,000 to the president's inauguration festivities.
• The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times.
• The corporation had access to the administration at its highest levels and even enlisted the Commerce and State Departments to grease deals for it.
• 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!
****

Frankly Teds Head, this is just one example of why many of us are very happy that we now have a President we can be proud of again.
