The current government of Georgia is pro-US. I don't think the opposition thinks in those terms though. I think they;re more worried about the cost of food, possible war with the "breakaway regions," corruption, stuff like that.
Amusingly, the government they replaced in 2003 was also pro-US.

Georgia: A Second "Revolution of Roses"? Aleksander B. Krylov
An acute political crisis broke up in Goergia in November again.
This has a symbolic meaning for the Georgian opposition, because it was the month of November in 2003 when the "revolution of roses" won its victory in Georgia, and a year later, the "orange revolution" in Ukraine.
Today there are no more illusions as to the existence of "victorious democracy" in either Georgia or Ukraine.
The list of principal achievements of the "revolution of roses" includes the dismissal of A. Abashidze and the "reintegration" of Adjaria, the re-organisation of the Georgian Defence Ministry and that country's participation in operations in Iraq.
All these "achievements" are very remote from Georgia's national interests, to put it mildly.
The actual abolishment of Adjaria's autonomy demonstrated to Abkhasians and Ossetians what the promises to safeguard the rights of ethnic minorities Tbilisi made were worth.
As a result a peaceful settlement of the Abkhazia and South Ossetia problems became even harder to achieve.
On top of that, the living standards of most of Adjaria's population now under control of the current Tbilisi rulers went down considerably as compared to the time of Abashidze.
