O’Malley hammers Romney: Swiss bank account never built an American bridge

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) struggled on Sunday to explain presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s investments outside the United States, including Swiss bank accounts and a corporation in Bermuda.

During an interview with ABC’s Terry Moran, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) ripped into Romney for betting “against America” with his foreign investments.

“President Obama is not running against the Almighty, he is running against the alternative,” O’Malley explained. “And the alternative in this case is Gov. Mitt Romney, who had the 47th worst job-creation rate as governor, and also has a penchant, a talent for offshoring American jobs — sending them overseas. And also maintaining offshore bank accounts in Bermuda, Swiss bank accounts.”

The Maryland governor added: “I’ve never known of a Swiss bank account to build an American bridge, a Swiss bank account to create American jobs, or Swiss bank accounts to rebuild the levies to protect the people of New Orleans. That’s not an economic strategy for moving our country forward.”
