quote: Seems to me that Reagon and Clinton both drug their feet whenever turning over to congress and such documents. Seem to recall the the Clintons happened to stumble on some papers about 3 or 4 years after they where requested. I believe that the papers concerned the proposed universal insurance mandates that the Clinton's wanted to force down everyones throats. Reagon's little tiff with congress was over the Iran/Contra Scandel. Same story everytime, just a different president.

quote: Untrue, the Clinton administration was well known to obstruct access to documents. Denying even having them then having them "found" on the coffee table...no way you can claim that administrations since carter have been open books, Even my favorite President RR didn't give over any documents unless forced to. |

~sigh~ why do pepole always become corrupt and even more power hungry/ greedy once they're in power? Or were they already like this. I mean maybe only the corrupt and greedy/power hungry have the drive to actually run for the position "leader of their country".
Why can't someone who actually cares for the well being of the whole country and not just the benefits to them and their pals run for the position? I suppose it's better than a dictatorship... but not if the dictator is setting out for the good of the country as a whole...

quote: Seems to me you recall correctly, and I never denied this. The issue isn't the trickiness of Bush Sr or Clinton, or the squall Reagan had, but that these preceding administrations had left Carter's Presidential Order in place. It was policy. It was a goal, a statement of purpose. Now, the administration has publically reversed policy. As I see it, it's like the difference between a somewhat rocky but workable marriage, and a declaration by one partner that they're going to separate and file for divorce. |

quote: Just a comment about the Carter Administration...While I truely believe that Jimmy Carter was probably the most honest and moral president we are ever going to have in this country...it is also true that his honesty and morals prevented him from accomplishing anything in his term in office, and can be argued to have caused the current instability in the middle east by his rescinding this countrys support for the Shaw of Iran. With Iran reverting back to the hard core Ayahtola religious leadership kicking off an all out war with Iraq forcing the USA and other nations to throw support to Iraq to help stabilize the supplies of oil....it was ugly and the fall out is still being felt. |

quote: It been made clear that Enron donates to both major political parties. Also look at the fact that Enron grew into the giant that filed bankruptcy this year, not during Bush Jr's year in office, but instead, during the 90's. This shows just a few of the items listed to start this thread. Here's another that eludes more to Enron officials Clinton White House visits. [ 03-08-2002: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

quote: Actually Khan it was Clinton, it was reported in the Washington Post. You see Billy boy used to have the Head of Enron Lay I think his name is on Airforce one every time he went over seas, Clinton also personally brokered some deals concerning ENRON's biggest failures in India, some major Hydro power plant that the INDIANS had ENRON Buid (with Funds secured for ENRON by the USA and With Clintons influence) and then decided to nationalize the dam and not pay for it. Its been well documented in the papers and in magazines. I usualy get my info from the post, thought I generally hate it for its primarily liberal slant. Sorry to dissapoint I didnt lie and if you would take 10 mintutes yourself to look it up, Im sure you could find the info. There IS a reason why the Dems are backing off the ENRON story now...and it is precisely because it is making them look worse than the Republicans. While I will say that Clinton used his influence to secure funding for ENRON for that Multi Billion dollar disaster in India against all the normal creditors better judgement, I don't think that really indicated anything illegal, those kinds of deals are done by politicians all the time. |
