Ex-Gov. Ted Strickland: Where's Romney's 'Economic Patriotism?'

[bigtree]

Ex-Gov. Ted Strickland, a national co-chairman of the President Barack Obama re-election campaign, strongly criticized Mitt Romney, saying the Republican presidential candidate is “lacking in economic patriotism.”

“This man, who wants to be our president, had a Swiss bank account, he set up a shell corporation in Bermuda, he invested in the Cayman Islands,” Strickland said. “Why would anyone who wanted to be the president of the United States of America ever, ever have a Swiss bank account? Why would he take his wealth and invest it in the Cayman Islands?”

“This country was in need of investments during World War II, and Ohioans and Americans were asked to buy war bonds — to take whatever meager resources they had and buy war bonds,” he said. “They did because the country needed their investment.”

Romney took his personal investments and moved them overseas, and “now he says, ‘I want to be your president because I know how to create jobs,’” Strickland said.

The former governor said, “I’m not saying he doesn’t love America, but I’m saying he is lacking in economic patriotism.”
