So how long until the Neo-con wingnuts turn this into an issue in the US election? E.g. Obama goes on holiday when freedom loving Georgia gets crushed etc.

I'm no Obama fan, but I sort of thought that it was when CNN did a piece about how the the campaigns where dealing with the "Russian invasion" and in the intro showed McCain talking at a podium and Obama playing golf in Hawaii.

I kept thinking about the scene in Fahrenheit 911 where they show Bush golfing, and have "summer vacation" on as the background music.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
