Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) struggled on Sunday to explain presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romneys investments outside the United States, including Swiss bank accounts and a corporation in Bermuda.
During an interview with ABCs Terry Moran, Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley (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, OMalley 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: Ive 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. Thats not an economic strategy for moving our country forward.

Rendell has been very, very silent on this very issue since he first made that comment...

What six casinos? There is exactly one, and a big fight over whether to allow a second one.

So your original post about taxing low and middle class was an outright lie

Applause for O'Malley for telling it like it really is. More should do the same.

It's widely known in Washington that O'Malley is eyeing a Presidential run in 2016.
