Gov. Martin O’Malley: Mitt Romney ‘Bet Against America’ With Swiss Bank Account

Gov. Martin OMalley, D-Md., said this morning on This Week that presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has bet against America by establishing a bank account in Switzerland and engaging in other offshore financial activities.
He bet against America when he put his money in Swiss bank accounts and tax havens and shelters and also set up a secret company, the shell company in Bermuda, said OMalley. What went the way of Europe were the the Swiss bank accounts and the American dollars that Mitt Romney stuffed in that offshore Swiss bank account, jobs that he facilitated companies in moving offshore, out of places like Ohio, out of Pennsylvania and Maryland.
OMalley appeared this morning with Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., who called the brouhaha over Mitt Romneys finances a distraction.
I think voters will consider all of the distractions thrown out by the Obama campaign. But at the end of the day, this election is about two fundamental choices. Its about President Obama, who wants to continue to spend money we dont have, Jindal said. They incurred now $1 trillion-plus deficit every year hes been president, after he promised wed cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. He hasnt done that.
