The Bush Presidency |
Index |
"No other politician approaches the benefits that George W. Bush has reaped from Enron. During the 2000 presidential campaign, the Center for Public Integrity named Enron as the single largest patron of Bush’s entire political career."
"U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick and White House economist Lawrence Lindsey were paid Enron advisers before Bush appointed them to his administration. Bush tapped Enron lobbyist and former Montana Governor Marc Racicot to head the national Republican Party in late 2000.
"Bush named Ken Lay to his Energy Department transition team and resisted calls for price controls when Enron and other power companies were accused of price gouging to exploit the West Coast power crisis."
