Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), who officially announced his 2016 candidacy Saturday, wasted no time in criticizing his opponents on both sides of the aisle. He took to ABC's This Week on Sunday to tell host George Stephanopoulos exactly how he feels about Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.
"When you have somebody that's the CEO of one of the biggest repeat-offending investment banks in the country telling his employees that he'd be fine with either Bush or Clinton, that should tell all of us something," O'Malley said in reference to Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. "I am not beholden to Wall Street interests. There are not Wall Street CEOs banging down my door and trying to participate or help my campaign." Julie Kliegman
