The Swiss are no longer our friends; it had been going downhill for a while, but it has hit rock bottom with this.
That Swiss claim is a copout on the part of the Swiss; they already had their minds made up.

According to your link:
"The Swiss government declared renowned film director Roman Polanski a free man on Monday after rejecting a U.S. request to extradite him on a charge of having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl."
If Obama (or the DOJ) wanted Polanski to go free, why in the world would they have made an extradition request? They wanted to bring Polanski back to the US for trial. The Swiss government refused to grant the request.
Obviously the US and the Swiss disagree on Polanski, even though the two countries remain generally on good terms.

Yes, Obama gave Polanski a full presidential pardon. He also gave him hundreds of thousands of dollars to bribe the Swiss government. What a president we have today!!!!

The Swiss have never techically been our friends because they never really sided with anyone, they were a neutral country and they still are
