New Obama Ad Hits Romney On Swiss Bank Account

The Obama campaign is up with a new ad in Ohio, Virginia, and Iowa Tuesday that attacks Mitt Romney with a mention of the fact that the Romneys once had a Swiss bank account. The ad first touts President Obama’s energy plan, then attacks Romney’s record as someone who outsourced jobs. The Swiss Bank account jab comes at the end when the narrator says, “It’s just what you expect from a guy who had a Swiss bank account.”

Politico reported the details on the ad buys: “The Obama campaign has bought $458,883 in airtime so far in Ohio, $88,455 in Iowa and $72,845 in Virginia for ads running May 1 to May 7.”

I don't recall ever seeing such an agressive Dem campaign. Got to do it to balance the other side's SuperPac $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Gobama.

Anyone else thinking "one legged man in an ass kicking contest"?


This may be a preview of the campaign's short term strategy. Keep hitting on different fronts so he doesn't have time to respond to one before he gets hit with another.
