Bobby Jindal attacks Obama for distracting voters by distorting Romney's experience

Washington, July 19 (ANI): Indian-origin Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has attacked President Barack Obama for trying to distract voters from his record by distorting Mitt Romney's experience.

"The president "can't run on his record. He can't run on his policies, so all he can do is attack Governor Romney. All he can do is distort his policies. All he can do is make up allegations, try to distract our attention away from his failed performance and the economy today", ABC News quoted Jindal, as saying at Mitt Romney's Ohio headquarters.

"They've distorted what Governor Romney did as governor. They distorted what he did in the private sector. They've even gone after what he did in high school," Jindal said.

Jindal, who appeared with Romney earlier this week at a fundraiser in Baton Rouge, made no reference to the vice presidential selection process.

Jindal focused on sharpening his attacks against the president, calling him "the most incompetent, most liberal" president since Jimmy Carter.

"The president himself made some promises. Remember he said if he couldn't get this economy turned around in three years, it'd be a one-term proposition. Now he's broken a lot of promises. That's one promise I'd actually like him to keep," Jindal said.

"This president has never run anything before we elected him POTUS, never ran a lemonhead stand, never ran a business, never ran a state," he later added.

Jindal, who endorsed Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the primary, has ramped up his appearances on behalf of Romney in recent weeks, but the two have yet to appear together at a public event. (ANI)
