Of course Bush spoke with Enron. He is a Texas oil guy.
So what about one ride in a 737? Great publicity for AA and for AA lobbying efforts. Was there a law or ethic violated in that?
I ask again: Where is the connection between President Bush and the scandal at Enron (not just whether Bush has had lunch with somebody), and more importantly, what in the world does that have to do with anything at AMR?
Don't just say "Enron" to try to emphasize something you don't like about AA management. Since there's no stated correlation or connection between the two, it just makes you seem uninformed.----------------[/blockquote]
The scandal is being covered up, once and maybe if, we ever find out who talked to Dick Cheney about his energy plans, then ENRON will be all over the paper. They bought access to the corridors of power in Washington, they probably also deflected the White House from the CA, problems until the problems became so huge they could not be covered up. And while others have gone to jail, Skilling & Co are at large, investing in secure homesteads while other firms are hauled into court.
Now does that not sound like political connections?
