Not so much about presidents as political character, Lay and the Enron perps are neocons. You might recheck your dates as well, it was at least 2003 when the Enron bubble burst. Bush and FERC at the time steadfastly refused to do anything relieve Grey Davis' deregulation errors.

The actual crash was late 2001. The full scam ran for something over
10 years before the wheels fell off. It was a classic case of only finding out who is swimming in the nude when the tide went out. The cooked books where well cooked and the auditing firm was helping to hide the falsehoods.The deregulation that let things go to the extreme happening in the last few years of the Clinton admin. That was a case of the last straw. Regulations that prevented such things had been gradually removed over the previous decades.
And it was Gray Davis who allowed CA to introduce one of the most stupid schemes ever: A centralized energy "market" while disallowing energy companies to negotiate longterm contracts. My jaw dropped when that happened. Sure enough, shortly thereafter we had rolling blackouts. Or "Gray-outs" as the locals here used to say. Duh!
Yeah, the bill entitled "Deregulation," laid out heaps and loads of high-minded, dim-witted, open-loop, centralized control of the market, uninhibited-by-the-thought-process . . . regulations.
I loved the 10% "rebate" to sweeten the deal for consumers (appearing on the front of your bill), funded by the 11% charge for bond service (appearing on the backside of your bill).
It's the same as our new tax cuts--borrow now, pay later.
"Gray-outs" -- that's precious.

Yep, that is why we gave him the boot.
And vice versa, speaking from experience. ;^)
With troubleshooting, 'logical' is often a matter of opinion. Two people can tackle a problem from totally the opposite angle, & still come up with a valid result.
That too. ;^)
Yeah, I worked for a place like that one time when I was young. I ended up splitting my time between improving my crossword skills & job-hunting.
Okay, I can see your point. Please pardon my sensitivity on the issue, because I've racked up a lot of years teaching people diagnostic techniques.
Ditto. ;^)
Vetinary science, perhaps. ;^)

S*it, you can't go around confusing wingnuts with the facts!
Only if it is a veterinarian on an alien spaceship looking for strange lifeforms for an Intergalactic Zoo.
You can't go around with facts without confusing the wignuts, and a few lugnuts.
