A spokesman for Switzerland's embassy tells Politico that his country "has communicated with the Obama campaign headquarters to object to the ads giving the impression that simply having a Swiss bank account means that the account holder is trying to hide money from the IRS."
Obama himself raised the issue Monday in calling on Romney to release more of his tax returns.
"The first disclosure, the one year of tax returns that he disclosed, indicated that he used Swiss bank accounts," Obama said.
"Well, that may be perfectly legal," the president added, "but I suspect if you ask the average American, do you have one and is that part of how you manage your tax obligations, they would say no."
I'm going to say the Swiss might want to be a bit more worried about the European banking crisis and their own involvement in the Libor scandal before they go popping off at POTUS, ya dig?
Just some free advice.
