Anyone seen the ad by Citizens Against Government Waste...? [View all]

With the roomful of young Chinese being lectured by an older Chinese fellow. The screen at the bottom interprets what he says about the "stimulus", the "healthcare debacle", the huge debt that is owned by the Chinese. "Now they work for us", he says. And they all laugh...

I think that is a very effective Republican ad. Because it never mentions either candidate or either Party.
