Right, and then you too can call yourself an "Enron expert" just as AS did after watching a movie...LOLOL Of course, he knows nothing about Enron and rins away from discussion...

Lay and Enron donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Democratic National Committee and other Clinton related organizations. In return, the U.S. government went to bat to help Enron get a power plant built in India, plus helped them get close to $2 billion in government financing and loan guarantees to build that and other projects. In another case, the Clinton administration threatened to cut off aid to Mozambique if they didn’t sign a pipeline deal with Enron. Clinton’s former treasury secretary, Robert Rubin, got paid to go to bat for Enron. He called a Bush administration treasury official trying to help Enron to keep its high credit rating, after reports had shown the books had been cooked. The Bush administration refused to help, and has since gotten guilty pleas from three Enron officials, and has indicted CFO Andrew Fastow.
