of breaking any laws, either in how he earned that money or how he does his taxes. democrats are certainly having a field day where some of romney s fortune is or was invested. this is a man who says president barack obama is out of touch. out of touch with the needs of the american people. this coming from a man who recently had a swiss bank account and millions of dollars invested in the grand cayman islands beyond scrutiny. and the president obama is out of touch? that was just part of a democratic tidal wave. when he put his money in swiss bank accounts and tax haven s and shelters and also st up the secret company, shell company in bermuda. about why he opened a corporation off shore in bermuda. why he opened a swiss bank account. did you ever think you d have a nominee of a major political party running for president who has significant investments in the cayman islands? americans need to ask themselves, why does an american business man need a swiss bank
good evening, everyone. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, the president s math doesn t add up. in a rose garden announcement today, president obama called for a one-year extension of the bush tax cuts for families who make up to $250,000. so, for those families who make $250,000 or more, their taxes will go up in january. i believe our prosperity has always come from an economy that s built on a strong and growing middle class. so my message to congress is this, pass a bill extending the tax cuts for the middle class. i will sign it tomorrow. pass it next week, i ll sign it next week. pass it next well, you get the idea. but how much would extending the tax cuts for the family s making under $250,000 help our economy? bear with me if you will. i want to start by showing you something that the president and most democrats and republicans agree on, and that is that letting all the tax cuts expire would hurt the economy. so if we let all the bush tax cuts expire, the r
in a corner over health care. the supreme court battle may be over. but has the political and policy war just begun? the house of representatives has already scheduled a vote to repeal health care reform next week. and senate republicans have pledged to repeal it if they take back the senate this fall. the conservative base is firmly aligned against the health care law. mitt romney is campaigning on a pledge to repeal and replace. just look at the sign on his podium. over the weekend, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell was dismissive when he was asked, what happens after repeal? what would his party do about the 30 million uninsured americans? that is not the issue. the question is how can you go step by step to improve the american health care system? it s already the finest health care system in the world. you don t think that 30 million what our friends you don t think that s an issue? let me tell you what we re not going to do. we re not going to turn th
good evening, everyone. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, party time. both sides spinning the health care verdict. the president celebrating his individual mandate ruling at the supreme court. today, i m as confident as ever that when we look back five years from now or ten years from now or 20 years from now, we ll be better off because we have the courage to pass this law and keep moving forward. and republicans seeing a way to rally the base. after all, this is now a fight for the underdog. hey, the supreme court failed to repeal what republicans see as a hated health care act. a big overreach of big government. but if you like mitt romney, he is going to slay the health care dr dr dragon. what the court did not do on its last day in session, i will do on my first day if elected president of the united states. well, that was pretty loud and clear. both sides were celebrating. partying it up. like guys at a bachelor party. but the problem is no one was a winner
prosecution during the trial. now, he was not called to the stand. we re going to get into why in just a minute because that s of course the question everybody wants to know the answer to. first, a bit of background. he went to live with the sanduskies as a foster child. he was later adopted. he had denied ever being abused by sandusky till just this week. as the trial was going on, he apparently approached prosecutors and told them his adopted father did molest him. joining me now live with the latest, national correspondent jason carroll. also cnn con trip tributor sara gannham. why didn t he call him to testify? i think that s a good question. there s a question in term of whether or not his testimony would have been admissible. for one reason, jerry sandusky is not charged with sexually abusing his son. i can tell you this, think of this scenario. let s say, for example, jerry sandusky had taken the witness stand and had said during his testimony, i m a great father, i
