Who cares about the economy, let's keep talking about Swiss bank accounts!

It appears President Barack Obama’s campaign team still believes Americans are going to get all kinds of worked up about Mitt Romney’s bank accounts. In fact, it has pretty much been the focus of their tweeting ever since David Axelrod tweeted out the required media talking points.

Oh look, the campaign team is properly synchronized!

Americans want to know why a presidential candidate puts his money in offshore accounts: http://t.co/aHzl0JNK

And the Left responds with a high-level of intellectual prowess.

@messina2012 and won't release his tax returns!

@stefcutter Show us the money, Mitt. Or at least show us all the tax returns which say where the money is.

But wait, the Romneys did release their tax returns and there was nothing super secret in them.

Surely, talking about Swiss bank accounts must be the recipe for job creation. If they just talk enough about Romney’s tax returns and finances, the unemployment numbers have to plummet and people will forget all about their economic woes!

Meanwhile, from George Clooney’s fundraiser for Obama — wait for this — in Geneva, Switzerland, to Obama’s reinvigorated use of the class warfare card, the hypocrisy and overall fail of the Obama campaign on this narrative has been epic.
