WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama tried Monday to tarnish Mitt Romney as a corporate titan who got rich by cutting rather than creating jobs, opening a new effort to undercut the Republican’s claims that his background of business success is just what America needs in a time of deep economic uncertainty.

JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, facing shareholders five days after the bank disclosed a $2 billion trading loss, said Tuesday that the company’s mistakes were “self inflicted.”.

The president’s 2011 disclosures also included a regular JPMorgan Chase checking account in the $1,001 to $15,000 range.

His other principal assets included $500,001 to $1 million in US Treasury bills and between $1 million and $5 million in US Treasury notes.

Public figures in the United States are required by law to publish their assets and investments to avoid conflicts of interest, and the White House releases disclosures for Obama and Vice President Joe Biden each year.

“Obama, in an appearance on the daytime TV show “The View,” which was taped on Monday and aired on Tuesday, praised JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon and said the bank’s loss showed the need for strong financial oversight.”.
