1) did Clinton design energy policy after secret meetings with large donors who just happen to run oil/energy companies?

Is it the secrecy, the fact that the meetings where with donors, or the fact that the meetings where with energy companies that bothers you?

If a president had secret meetings with with just a different group of companies, or with unions, or environmental groups would that bother you just as much?

4) can you guess why I'm becoming so bored by the bribe-taking greedos in the WH and the triumphalist cretins who worship them...?

When Clinton and Gore took money from trial lawyers and then opposed many efforts at tort reform were the campaign contributions they recieved bribes? If I am a politician and I take money from one side of the abortion or gun control or any other issue, and then when I am in office I talk with those people and not the other side, and pass laws supporting thier viewpoint on this issue have I recieved bribes?
