As Twitchy reported earlier, President Obama was full of fail today. We know; what else is new? Everything he touches turns to fail, which is why he can’t even run on his abysmal record.<\/p>\n
So, this afternoon he started tweeting out stuff about Mitt Romney and a bank account in Switzerland. Cue the ominous Swiss music! Of course, this reminded us of a pesky little detail that the president forgot: President Obama is fundraising in Switzerland<\/a>. That kind of Swiss money is A-Okay.<\/p>\n When his attempts at fanning absurd outrage failed, he upped it by adding FACT in front of his tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n FACT: In 2010, Romney reported having a $3 million Swiss bank account. http:\/\/t.co\/jwavYYy7<\/a><\/p>\n — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) July 3, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n FACT: In 2010 and 2011, Romney paid less than 15% in taxes on $42.5 million in income—much less than what many middle-class families pay.<\/p>\n — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) July 3, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n He’s super serious, y’all.
