Vanity Fair on “Romney’s familiarity with foreign tax havens,” including Switzerland and Grand Cayman: OFA.BO/P2KzSD

Barack Obama (@BarackObama) July 03, 2012Uh. Okay, then. President Obama seems to have forgotten a pesky detail. As Twitchy reported last week, President Obama is pimping out his buddy George Clooney for fundraising … in Switzerland. See, Clooney fundraisers in Switzerland are fine. In that case, Swiss money is hunky-dory, huh?
@BarackObama Hey! Switzerland! Aren't you headed that way soon? What a way to spend the 4th of July! #eyeroll—

Silly rube! That’s totally different. Because, “citizen of the world.” Or something.
This Twitter user cuts right to the chase; Obama can’t campaign on his actual record.
@BarackObama I feel like at a certain point you have to campaign on something other than Romney being rich and legally storing his money.—

Another Twitter user wonders if the president questions the financial dealings of his cronies like George Soros or the Kennedy family.
@BarackObama Will you attack the Kennedy family for doing the same thing? Or the Kerry family? Didn't think so. #Unprincipled—

Principles are hard.
Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, also gets schooled.
@Messina2012 so Romney's swiss bank accounts aren't ok, but Obama holding fundraiser in Switzerland is??—

Indeed. Swiss money for me, but not for thee. Shameless hypocrisy and baseless attacks are all President Obama has. His record speaks for itself: It says “Hell, no.”
Update: Now he’s putting FACT in front of the ominous Swiss stuff. So that you know he’s super serious and all.
