RICHMOND, Va. (WLS) - The presidential race is already creeping onto local television in the 2012 battleground of Virginia.

The Republican National Committee previewed a new 30-second attack ad Wednesday that portrays President Barack Obama as a dupe of a China that has mastered the United States by January 2017, the hypothetical end of Obama's second term.

The ad, with light penetration but a big social media component in Virginia, depicts a wide-eyed girl in a darkened room fearfully viewing television images of Obama before a red-and-yellow Chinese flag and a cutaway shot of China's Communist leaders applauding.

RNC political director Rick Wiley says the ad is also airing in North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Florida and Indiana - states Obama won in 2008 but Republican George W. Bush carried in his 2004 re-election.

An afterthought in presidential elections for decades, Virginia was a decisive battleground in 2008 and a critical loss for the GOP in what had been a solidly Republican South. Obama was the first Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 to win Virginia in a presidential race.

This year, not only is Virginia in play again, but Obama's chief supporter in 2008, then-Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, is in one of next year's most-watched U.S. Senate races. Republican George Allen, trying to win back the seat he lost to Democratic Sen. Jim Webb in 2006, is favored to win the GOP nomination over a little-known field.

The GOP is striking while Obama struggles with Congressional Republican leaders to reach a compromise on raising the nation's $14.3 trillion borrowing limit by Tuesday or default on its bills for the first time in history. Wiley said polls show the drama is taking a toll on Obama heading into his re-election year.

"Across the board you're seeing it," he said. "We believe Barack Obama is beatable."

The ads, he said, "gives us a trial run before we put our grass roots in place across Virginia."

Brian Coy, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Virginia, said the GOP is "holding our economy hostage" for political gain.

"They can launch all the ridiculous attack ads they want, but it won't distract Virginians from the fact that Republicans don't understand working families and don't have a plan to create jobs," Coy said. (1 image)

Virginia is one of the states that will be hit the hardest if the GOP sends the country into default next week. If they want to have any prayer of winning, they'll increase the debt limit.

GOP ad paints Obama as dupe of Chinese

WOW! THAT's brass! Have these buffoons never heard of the Bush Crime Family?

Poppy Bush was the first Chinese slave,and he even sent his uncle Prescott to live in China to be the family bag man. Prescott made sure the Bush Crime Family got a finders fee for greasing the skids for all the deals that were made to send US jobs and technology to China. Boy Jorge even sold them massive oil fields in 3 western states so they could pump our oil to send to China,and even allowed them to bring in all Chinese workers and equipment to work those oil fields so that no American would make a dollar out of it,or know exactly what the Chinese were doing or what the PLA members (all Chinese oil workers are members of the Peoples Liberation Army) were really doing in America.

Baby Brudder "Ah doan no nofing bout no bankin'" Neil Bush is now taking over in China and the rest of Asia as the family bagman because Prescott is older than dirt and they need a replacement in place. As SOME of you may remember,Baby Brudder was in a hotel room in Thailand when a hooker he had never met knocked on his room door and insisted on having sex with him for free. This was citied in his divorce,and he was the one that testified before a judge that he didn't order the prostitute,she just showed up and insisted he let her in.

It seems like it never occurred to this rocket scientist that since the Thai government had provided the room AND the hooker that the room just MIGHT be wired for stereo sound and living,pulsing color.

BTW,Prescott Bush is the president of the Chinese-American Chamber of Commerce,and business partners with the members of the Chinese Politburo. It can only be assumed that Baby Brudder will be taking his place.

And most likely busing the tables after dinner is served.

So...Your position is that the GOP must surrender again to the irresponsibly fiscal whims of the Leftist Dems in order to dethrone 0bama?

LMAO.

Virgina is a fedgov hive of bloated bureaucracy. Let these parasites get real jobs (oh, that's right - the ONLY jobs in Virgina are fedgov jobs. Eff 'em.

War, let's be intellectually honest here; BOTH Parties ran up this un-godly debt. And BOTH Parties must ratchet down the un-godly spending.

And have you forgotten that since 2007 when the Dems first began controlling the purse-strings that the debt really began exploding into the ionosphere?

OBAMA: "Let's you and him compromise. Do it MY way"

What did Obama take off of the table when he met with Boehner and Cantor?

On the other hand, what did Boehner and Cantor put ON the table when they met with Obama?

We are a government of compromise and not of factionalism. If you want to see factionalism at work, move to Greece, Italy or Spain and enjoy the stability.

It's moot anyway, neither Boehner nor Cantor can deliver their caucus. Does that help the GOP? Does it help the extremists in that party who require their candidates to sign intransigent "pledges" and then hold them to 100% compliance to orthodoxy?

The GOP has once again shown that while they may be brilliant campaigners, their method of governance always gets them in the end. This is 1997 all over again and you're going to see a "conservative" Paxton type coup try to overthrow Boehner and Cantor. It will fail and set the stage for a) an Obama re-election and b) an erosion of the GOP majority in the House.

It's impossible to mount an united opposition when the opposition, itrself, is a) not united nor b) in step with the electorate.

IMHO the issue is "how to we increase economic growth and spur job creation/wage increases." Talking about cutting government spending when the economy is limping along is idiotic and ignores what is currently going in countries like the UK that adopted austerity, as well as our own history (see 1937).

The Democrats have let the Republicans shape the wrong agenda. Get back to 3-4% growth and the deficit becomes a much smaller issue.

We have more than interest coming due. We have $90bln in TBills maturing on 8/4.

You're probably right with regard to the entire state of Virginia. My assessment was with respect to the blanket assertion by go65 that the state would be "hit the hardest."

Northern Virginia and the Tidewater area (Norfolk/Va. Beach) are heavily tied to the federal government, and those just happen to be the two biggest economic areas in the Commonwealth.

yep. The only "industries" within 30-35 minutes of the DC-VD corridor are goob pencil pushers, paper shufflers, and parasitic bureaucrat hives. BOO-frickin'-HOO! All the burb McMansions of these leeches will have to be sold/foreclosed upon!!

Verizon Business, Sprint, Marriott, Discovery Networks, Capital One, NeuStar, XO Communications, Rosetta Stone, ExxonMobil, NVR Homes, Gannett, Hilton Hotels, Airbus, Rolls Royce, and Volkswagon are but a small list of companies with either HQ or major operations in the D.C. area that have little to do with the federal government.

The debt and deficits are two separate issues that have been melded into one. This nation incurred its first debt a few months after the Revolution was over.

So we balance the budget tomorrow. We still have debt that does not come due until 2041. So we cut spending to the point where we surplus a trillion dollars a year. That's enought to retire barely a year's worth of debt as it comes due.

So, we go ahead and do the latter, my guess is that the GOP, as it did in 2001, doesn't pay down debt but instead opts to give tax cuts to the wealthy.

A separate issue that needs to be addressed AS WE ARE PAYING WHAT WE ALREADY OWE.

You need to post this over and over. The Teabaggers apparently don't want to pay back the money they've already spent.

Since we don't live in an uncontitutional direct democracy, your representative in congress did [give our consent.]

Great theory by the Founders, wasn't it?

If you hire me to defend and represent you in court and instead indict you, isn't that malpractice and malfeasance?

TBills mature all of the time. More TBills are sold to pay for the ones that are maturing.

The only way that won't happen is if the Democrats convince people that the government is at risk of not paying interest on the debt.

Obama could put all of this nonsense to bed today, by just telling us what he will prioritize if the debt ceiling isn't raised. But he won't do it because he'd rather scare old people, claiming their Social Security checks won't show up, to gain political advantage for himself.

His behavior is sickening.
