A strange thing for a Russian Prime Minister to say to an American President, "Rest in Peace."
Wikipedia said:"Rest in peace" ... is a short epitaph or idiomatic expression wishing eternal rest and peace to someone who has died. The expression typically appears on headstones, often abbreviated as R.I.P. or RIP.

Medvedev is certainly not announcing the intention to assassinate Obama, but he may be saying "you're dead to me" to America's lame-duck president. Obama will be gone soon, and his influence on American and world events will be as muted as that of someone who died. "You're nobody; you're dead to me," Medvedev seems to be saying.
