Obama Campaign Attacks Romney's Swiss Bank Account

President Barack Obama's campaign attacked Mitt Romney's Swiss bank account in a conference call Monday.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) emphasized that no presidential candidate has ever had a Swiss bank account.

"So I started asking people: 'Why do you have Swiss bank account?' One, you believe the Swiss Franc is a stronger currency than the United States dollar. And that is apparently the decision the Romney family made during the Bush presidency. And secondly, you want to conceal something. You want to hide something. Why would you have a Swiss bank account instead of one in the United States?

Romney lived in a French palace stolen by murder
by the NAZIs. Guess where the money went when it was sold?

This, too, will come out -— after it is too late.

It’s OK to have bank accounts elsewhere as long as you report them.
I see no evidense that Romney hid accounts.
Don’t claim love for Romney, but I won’t say he’s hiding funds either.

At least Romney earned his own money as opposed to the RAT bastard in the White House who has helped himself to taxpayer funds and “Affirmative Action” grants 100% of his whole miserable career.

How would we know if no candidate has ever had a Swiss bank account before?

How can you be emphasizing something that cannot be confirmed?

Dickhead Durbin says no one has ever run for president who has a Swiss bank account. He didn’t say where he hides his ill gotten gains.

It’s HIS money! I don’t care if he puts it under his mattress has a huge tank of Gold coins that he swims through like scrooge mcduck or puts it in a bank. Hey Durbin care to check into how much US TAX PAYER money is filed into Swiss Bank accounts by Karzai and his Afgani buddies? I didn’t think so...... Or how much stimulus dough has been laundered through Unions to Obama? Nope Crickets in the Media

Anytime mittens or Santorum is questioned on matters financial or religious, they need to deflect and ask about Hussein’s school transcripts, medical records, housing transactions, and Hussein’s ‘church’. Do this over and over. After a while the media will tire of the response and become critical of the response. That is when the media will stop this line of questioning.

The problem with Swiss Bank accounts is that they allow a way to conduct bribery and graft, and not have the evidence available to investigators. Even worse are his Cayman Island accounts. Cayman accounts are impenetrable.

Romney cannot win with this baggage.

How do you know this whole Romney campaign is not just a grand scheme to loot America, just like Obama sent money to his friends as bailouts and stimulus as soon as he had the power?

I don’t trust Romney any more than I trust Obama.
