Henry Paulson began his career in the Nixon Pentagon in 1970. He then served as assistant to John Ehrlichman from 1972 to 1973.*************************Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who recently asked Congress for a $700 billion bailout of Wall Street, had almost no connection whatsoever to the Watergate scandal of the Nixon Administration. Any attempt to smear Henry Paulson by pointing out that he served in the Nixon Administration in two different capacities is unfair and misleading. Yes, its true that Henry Paulson was an Assistant to John Ehrlichman from 1972 to 1973. And its true that John Ehrlichman was subsequently convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. And although Henry Paulson worked directly under John Ehrlichman at the height of the Watergate scandal that sent John Ehrlichman to federal prison, Henry Paulson was never accused of any wrongdoing. That is a simple fact. And just because he was part of the disgraced and corrupt Nixon administration doesnt mean that Henry Paulson is a crook or that he has some sort of cynical greedy Machiavellian design. Henry Paulson didnt ask for a lot of money to bail out his buddies, hes doing it for you, to clean up this horrible mess that all you irresponsible homeowners have created.Henry Paulsons experience in the Watergate-era Nixon administration is no reflection at all on his sterling character.After all, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld were both in the Nixon administration, and they are both honest men of integrity, just like Henry Paulson.

Dec 3, 2008 - Thanx for sending me this, I didn't know about Paulson's ties to Nixon/Ehrlichman. I knew of Cheney/Rumsfeld. Interesting how dubya keeps recycling these hacks. Heavy sigh, only one more month of this nightmare.How 'bout Alan Greenspan's confession to Congress that, (effectually) unregulated free market fundamentalism, i.e. Reaganomic trickle down economics is a failure, and that the greed factor outweighs any supply and demand self righting balance.Let bad business fail.

Dec 3, 2008 - Your very welcome,Its amazing how much of this goes back to Nixon and Reagan, more people should be aware of it. I think that if the masses knew the whole truth about these poicies, and how and why they were implemented, the Republican Party would be outlawed.

Dec 25, 2008 - Let's not forget the most illustrious protege of the Richard "Peace With Honor" Nixon regime of them all - one George W. Bush, who as I recall was a Young Republican who helped with the model of integrity that was the 1972 GOP campaign.Poor CREEP.What was their downfall?A single patch of duct-tape.
