PRO-RUSSIAN DEMONSTRATORS PROTEST GEORGIAN GOVERNMENT WHILE WAVING POSTERS OF OBAMA

Good find by Sweetness and Light:

Mind you, these “protestors” are pro-Russia and anti-Georgia. They want Georgia to be subsumed by the Soviet Union Russia.

People stand while wearing gas masks as a man holds a portrait of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama in the background during an opposition rally in Tbilisi November 7, 2008. More than 10,000 Georgian opposition supporters rallied on Friday against President Mikheil Saakashvili, piling pressure on his government after its crushing military defeat by Russia.

Meanwhile, Obama refuses to comment on supporting the missile defense system in Poland and Russia is ramping up for war.

President-elect Obama has spoken to the president of Poland about relations between the two countries but didn't make a commitment on the multibillion-dollar missile defense program undertaken by the Bush administration, an Obama aide said Saturday.

Poland as part of a shield against possible missile attacks from Iran.

A missile shield set up so close to its borders has been a sore point with Russia and has served as another dent in its battered relationship with the U.S.

On Wednesday, the day after Obama's election, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened to move short range nuclear missiles to Russia's borders with NATO allies even as the U.S. offered new proposals on nuclear arms reductions as well as missile defense. Allowing Russian observers at planned missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic were among them, U.S. officials said.

Sure Russia. Just wait until America shock and awes you with hope and change.
