We just need government responsible to the people instead of 
just big business.  Then we'll make it just fine.

4. "I first got to know Ken [Lay in 1994]." As the Enron 
scandal reached the White House in early 2002, Bush uttered 
this remark, claiming he had nothing to do with Lay until 
after winning the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election. It was 
an apparent and clumsy effort to diminish his relationship 
with the now-disgraced Enron chief. But in1994, Lay and 
Enron had been leading contributors to Bush’s campaign. And 
Lay—long a patron of Bush’s father—had worked with Bush in 
political settings prior to 1994. In a pre-scandal 
interview, Lay noted he had been "very close to George W." 
for years before1994. (In the mid-1980s, Bush’s oil venture 
was in a partnership with Enron.) Bush also claimed that his 
administration had been of absolutely no help to Enron. That 
might have been true during the scam-based company’s final 
days. But in the months preceding that, the Bush 
administration had assisted Enron in a variety of ways. This 
included appointing individuals recommended by Lay as top 
energy regulators and opposing wholesale price caps on 
electricity during the California energy crisis, a move that 
came after Lay (whose electricity-selling company was using 
manipulative tactics to gouge California) urged the White 
House to block price caps.
