MOSCOW (AFP) Still Russia's dominant politician, Vladimir Putin can only relish the prospect of a new bout of Russian-US rivalry with American leader-in-waiting Barack Obama, say analysts.
While much of the world celebrated Obama's US presidential win, a stony-faced Russian reaction was a reminder of Cold War-style tensions between Washington and Moscow.
On the Internet, Russian bloggers portrayed the victory of a black candidate as evidence of American decline. On an official level, President Dmitry Medvedev chose the day of Obama's win to announce the deployment of short-range missiles to Kaliningrad, a Russian outpost in Europe.
Numerous analysts said Medvedev's response was clearly authored by Putin, no longer president himself but powerful in the prime minister's post and long the spearhead of Russian attacks on the United States.

Oh, don’t worry Vlad. Hussein is gonna be your bestest buddy.
The Russians see black people as inferior.
Many are open about it. Anyone who has been there on the ground among the people, knows what I mean.
There will be no respect or admiration for America’s choice of leadership from this nation.
Putin and his advisors must be licking their chops.
You are spot on on that mate.
My Sister went to Russia to adopt a child several years ago and found that the orphanage had only Black/Mulatto children available. Mainly because all the Caucasian children are usually adopted immediately.
They were forced to pick a 7 year old Mulatto child with behavioral problems because there was no other option.
Even at the orphanage, they shun Black or mixed race children there. I can imagine how they will look at America now, that will choose a leader of a Superpower that they see as inferior.
American decline? if by decline you mean the withdrawal of troops in retreat... decommissioning ships... dismantling strategic weapons... and disbanding the troops... then i would have to agree with the russians.
Standard Russian procedure. Punch first and then demand apology for your bruised knuckles.
They’re not stupid. They’ve seen how often Obama has voted “present” rather than take a stand. They know that if they growl, shake their fists and stare menacingly, our President-Elect is going to be hiding under the bed in the Lincoln bedroom.
And racist? What your average Russian thinks about black people would make your average southerner look like a NYT liberal.
If it wasn’t so serious it would be funny.
The street term for Africans studying or working in in Russia is “apes” or the like. I wonder what the Kremlin elites privately called Condi Rice? At least she was under the protection of GWB.
Yes, biracial children in Russia suffer wretchedly. To be adopted and sent out of Russia is such a blessed miracle for so few of them.
Yeah, all of us "average" Southerners spend most of our time waiting for the white sheets to get back from the dry cleaners. /s
This would be Mike Tyson vs. Fiona Apple [remember her?] and it would be all over but the embarrassment in about ten seconds
Having already aimed their missiles at Poland and reading of O’s response to Poland for missile defense..........
Count on Putin moving into all the former soviet satellites without a peep from O.
This BS....we all know Bush has seen into Putins heart and found it full of love.
I wonder when Putin disagrees with the man-child, if he will then be called a “racist” by the press?

Not much different from the States or just about anywhere eles. I have four mixed race children. Never waited more than 9 months and they were much less expensive than white kids. all newborns, all healthy, all from middleclass families.
Yeah, all of us “average” Southerners spend most of our time waiting for the white sheets to get back from the dry cleaners. /s
You dry clean? We have found that a quick hot water wash with bleach and spin in the dryer works well, if you take them out and shake them immediately before folding.
hussein will get chapped lips from kissing pootie’s butt!

What do you think the Russians will do ?
If Obama did not confront Rev. Wright, how is he going to confront Putin ?
Well, if Putin is in a GOOD mood, he FIRST might send the Obamassiah some congratulatory gifts to help him celebrate his 2008 election win for POTUS:
