The Obama campaign is up with a new ad in Ohio, Virginia, and Iowa Tuesday that attacks Mitt Romney with a mention of the fact that the Romneys once had a Swiss bank account. The ad first touts President Obama’s energy plan, then attacks Romney’s record as someone who outsourced jobs. The Swiss Bank account jab comes at the end when the narrator says, “It’s just what you expect from a guy who had a Swiss bank account.”

Politico reported the details on the ad buys: “The Obama campaign has bought $458,883 in airtime so far in Ohio, $88,455 in Iowa and $72,845 in Virginia for ads running May 1 to May 7.”
