The (overseas) friends of Barack Obama
Steve Gilbert of Sweetness & Light notices that a rally of Georgian opponents of President Mikhail Saakashvili features posters of President-Elect Barack Obama. Saakashvili is, of course, a strong US ally, who suffered a defeat at the hands of Russian forces recently. He features multiple pictures of the crowd, and comments:
Mind you, these "protestors" are pro-Russia and anti-Georgia. They want Georgia to be subsumed by the Soviet Union Russia.So why are they carrying signs that say they believe in Obama?
