The world is ending and Bush is to blame!

Documents obtained by TIME show the energy giant enjoyed much closer ties with Clinton Administration regulators than was generally known. Long before Cheney's task force met with Enron officials and included their ideas in Bush's energy plan, Clinton's energy team was doing much the same thing.

By 1995, Enron was able to successfully secure financing for the Dabhol Power plant in India with loans from the U.S. Export-Import Bank totaling $298 million dollars to cover about 32 percent of the costs. Enron's ownership stake was 80 percent in the Indian power plant.

In 1995 the Enron corporation donated "an undisclosed" amount of money to Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary's favorite charity.

Enron was able to secure another $100 million in investment money from the U.S. federal agency, Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC).

In 1996, the investment corporation provided another $200 million dollars in "political risk insurance" for the India project, according to OPIC documents.

In 1996, the Enron Corporation gave $100,000 to President Clinton's re-election campaign.

But, it is much easier to just blame Bush!
