What Obama's victory might mean for Poland
The countries have already signed a political agreement, but detailed negotiations are still underway, with the main bones of contention being the juridical and tax status of American soldiers stationed in Poland.
The delay means that the final decision will in all likelihood be taken by Obama, who might oppose the installation, opting to spend public money on another bailout for the banking sector rather than support a project he saw as likely to anger Russia.
On a brighter note, Obama specifically mentioned Poland as one of the countries whose strategic relationship and historic links to the US might merit inclusion in the Visa Waiver Program.
