Everybody accuses George Bush of being tied to Enron, why does nobody mention Bill Clinton?

It's only politically acceptable to bash Bush.  If you point out any historical facts about JFK, Carter, or Clinton, you are automatically a wacko.\n\nDidn't you get the memo?\n\nAnd when did oil become evil?

He's tied with a lot of other people for that dubious honor:\n\nRush Limbaugh, who always advocated treating drug abusers very harshly...until he was accused of abusing drugs himself.\n\nTed Haggard, who...despite being gay himself...opposed gay rights.\n\nNancy Pelosi (and all the other Democrats) who knew about Mark Foley's e-mails several month's before making them public...because the timing would be best for them.\n\nAll the women's rights groups who had always insisted that women never lie about sexual harrassment and rape attempts....UNTIL Juanita Broderick and Paula Jones accused Bill Clinton of exactly that.\n\nRepublicans, who accused Democrats of being spendthrifts with tax money...but who themselves spent more than Democrats ever did.\n\nTed Kennedy (and others) who insist that we should NOT abolish the death tax...but who themselves benefit from enormous trust funds set up by their wealthy parents to avoid paying inheritance taxes.\n\nWhen you talk about hypocrisy...especially in the political realm...the list is damn near endless.

Bush is nothing more than a common thug, and so are all of his cronies. \n\nHave you ever seen so many people under investigation? How can anyone say that that isn't a corrupt lot?\n\nHe wasted no time in turning a budget surplus into a huge deficit. People suffered because of his cronyism (Katrina for one. Thanks FEMA! Instead of a thumbs up...I got another finger for you!). No bid contracts to Haliburton where millions are unaccounted for. His family's shady dealings with Saudi Arabia. His confirmed AWOL status when he was in the military. Lying...Lying...Lying about WMD's, ties to Al Qaeda, and liberation of Iraqis. He went there for none of that and everyone knows it. They just don't want to admit it. Stealing the 2000 election and maybe 2004. C'mon...Supreme Court involvement over a HUGE controversy that happens to be in Bro Jeb's state? Tax cuts for the richest 1% while most of us get zip? He was in bed with Enron (a huge contributor of his campaign and good friends of Kenneth Lay)....\n\nI really hope I don't have to go on. It's a free country, so decide for yourself.

i agree completely. I HATE CLINTON. he is the meanest man alive. i will never forget when he drove by my school [a military-base school overseas] and he was supposed to get out and meet some people from my school. but instead, he just whipped by us, not even bothering to open his window. and i think bush is amazing. he's doing the best he can in this situation and he's handling it very well. =]

I think that you have that question wrong, Bush sucks and Clinton is more Godly. There is always a capital G, but you like bush so I can't expect anything else from you.

Somewhat a good influence. I think GWB is a little jealous of Rory and Warren because a lot of people like them, and currently, Bush is the most hated man for democrats in the world. Hey, it's not our fault that people love Rory and Warren and hate GWB!

Republican value? I would not say that but George Bush has a history of surrounding himself with sleazeballs - Like Enron and Haliburton and others who want money, power, oil no matter who gets run over.

Those people that don't talk about Giuliani are Republicans who have selective memory. I like Giuliani and don't care about his private life but when people start branding Clinton a degenerate because of Lewinsky and they idolize Giuliani for his values, that's hypocrisy.

Because the American public is more willing to forgive presidents that don't project themselves as smarter then them.  Its similar to how Oliver North and the Irancontra scandal in the 80's did not affect Reagan's popularity, but how Clinton's "lies" about Monica almost resulted in impeachment.  In a way, this may be Bush's genius, that he understands what lies Americans are willing to accept, and not accept.

because it is own by corporate America and corporation are who pay the president large amounts of money to pass bills in their favor. blame Bush, it works for everything else!

Whoa!!!!\nClinton was not born of money, but he sure gained privilege.\nHe got lots of help to dodge the draft, live his whole life off taxpayers, and make a fortune in corruption.\nBill Clinton is the only president that never held a job for even one day in his life.\nReagan and Nixon grew up poor.\nThey both worked menial jobs, not live off the taxpayers like Clinton did.\n\nGood Question if you had your facts correct.  You missed it on Clinton, Reagan, and Nixon.

Bush blew through Clinton's reservoir of excess funds faster than Clinton was able to make the surplus happen. \nThis war should be with the people who flew into our country and caused the 9/11 tragedy.\nIraq pissed off the oil money people that are friends and cronies of George and his daddy. They used to have parties together. Now they are annoyed and using our soldiers to settle their spat. Thankfully, there is the benefit of freedom for the Iraqi people. That makes this not a mistake, this makes their presence there worth while. \nI just want to understand why we are not concentrating on the terrorists that started this. I have many loved ones serving over there, including my youngest child's father. I believe in what they are doing. I thank them for their zeal. I love my country, I cannot fight for it, I thank our veterans for doing what I cannot. \nI do want to impeach Bush. He is a liar. He is a thief, and he is too confused and mentally lost to run our country. He "won" both elections with controversy. Why not a re-vote instead of a re-count? If he had won clean, I would say nothing, but two elections with controversy makes me wonder about the truth of the politics in Washington. \nI want Clinton back. Hillary too. I want to have a paycheck and get my overtime. I want to take better care of our people here in America before we send money to other countries. I want to have the values of the government to come back closer to the constitution that our country is based on. Please give us a hero for a president. Not a c average screw off who obviously does not understand that you have to have a BUDGET! Some one in charge who understands that America wants to eat too. I was making 24000 a year when Clinton left office, I make 8000 a year now since Bush has been in. I have lost my house, my car, and filed bankruptcy. I never left my job. The American Dream will die if Bush has control much longer. I am not alone, my co-workers are many, and we have all lost. I am in human services. \nMy stock account has gone from 200 when Clinton took office, 44000 when Clinton left office. My stock is now worth about 12000. I cashed out not long ago before any more disappeared, in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy. Please give me a president who understands that the poor will rise up against an unfair system when it becomes too much of a burden. I fear for our inner cities, I fear for our children who have been slashed form the programs that Bush has removed. Clinton was able to help these people, why can't Bush? Answer, he doesn't care, he is lost, he is taking bad advice...

FOX news is part of the Republican noise machine. If Skilling/ Lay are friends of Bush's, then you can bet, they are not going to tomtom that story. Today, in the afternoon, Cavuto had the CEO of a healthcare company that beat the rap. His net conclusion - overzealous prosecutors, and why are we spending millions of tax dollars to catch Lay/ Skilling, when there are million murderers out there. \n\nForget the fact that Lay/ Skilling has wiped out the next egg for thousands of his employees, leaving them to beg, borrow or steal.\n\nVery soon, FOX will report that Enron was caused not by Lay etc, but by illegal immigrants, who come to USA to rape and murder!!

Well, pretty good rule of thumb that a man's judgment may be impaired when a young intern is performing oral sex on him in the White house while he is conducting business relative to the well being of the nation.\n\nClinton shredded the military, and of course President Bush received the blame as he entered office and inherited that and many other messes.  Also, when the illusion of prosperity during Clinton's Presidency was revealed, such as Enron, World com, Quest, and a host of others, that of course was President Bush's fault also.\n\nAnd, have you noticed how the media refuses to refer to President Bush as President Bush?  Continually referring to him as on "Bush".  Incredibly disrespectful.  My mother says she is unaware of that lack of respect ever being shown for a President during her 81 years,

To the absent minded that don't know how to read between lines the word squeme can be interpreted as scheme. Excuse the lack of serotonin on their brains. Many of those guys will never make it to the first question on the DEAL no DEAL game. I don't think ENRON is a dead topic not when there are still families trying to get punitive damages on their pension funds plus the ones that have to carry around the stigma of being an Enron former employee. THE QUESTION OF KENETH LAY BEING ALIVE STILL IS A VERY VALID ONE. Is as actual as possible Iranian intervention. In america we are easily distracted from the real issues. Something new and more grotesque will take the place of the "older grotesque" Now we have the new BORAT another racial profiling TOm Greene style movie that is the number one. 'funiest movie". Maybe that distract the republicans from their loss in the recent elections.
