Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.  Europe couldn’t wait for an Obama presidency, but they might want to reconsider:

The Polish president’s office backtracked Sunday on a previous claim that U.S. president-elect Barack Obama had promised Poland to continue the Bush administration’s multibillion-dollar missile defense program.
Presidential aide Michal Kaminski said Obama “made no declaration on missile defense.” But Kaminski did not explain why Polish President Lech Kaczynski had claimed Saturday that Obama told him “the missile defense project would continue.”

It looks like the Russians have Obama pegged perfectly–get belligerent, and he’ll buckle.  If I were a country bordering Russia, I’d be awfully neverous right now.
