    This shouldn't go well for McCain's campaign, considering he tried to keep the regulations that let Enron do what it did in place. And has Phil Gramm on his staff at a high level, the man who got Enron the deregulation it needed to do the deed. The same Phil Gramm who's wife was on Enron's board of Directors.

      A Federal agency in "BUSH" administration conducting inquiry in to "OIL BUSINESS"?

      Don't expect much?

        I have been talking and posting stories about the Enron connection to high energy prices on here for well over a year and no one has ever paid them any mind. Now since the "Close the Enron Loophole Act" got passed as a rider on the Farm Bill that the Enron Loophole and the damage that Enron done to our futures market is finially coming into view. And people need to know this fact, John McCain's economic advisor is non other than former Senator Phil Gramm, the father of the Enron loophole. This is one of the big reasons that I have no intention of voting for McCain.

          You would think that Enron was a wildly successful business interprise the way we continue to reach back to their escapades. Do you suppose all the traders in oil will go belly up soon.

          I doubt it ...

            This is perhaps the best explanation of what's going on that I have seen.
