Putin knows he can kick Obama's ass, any day, any place. Hell even blindfolded with his arms and legs tied down, Putin would bash Obama into a million pieces. Obama thinks that "Columbia law definitions" will cause Russia's President to "behave 21st century," and start showing him respect.
In little league there's a thing called the "slaughter rule," where if one team is whooping another by 11 or more runs, out of mercy the game is stopped. Hey Barack, you're 485 miles behind Putin in a 500 mile race, time to invoke the slaughter rule.

U.S. senators, congressmen and top Obama administration officials are sure to be on Vladimir Putin’s sanctions list; a response to the Obama Administration’s announcement on Monday that 7 Russian officials and 4 Ukrainian officials would be barred from holding assets or traveling to the United States.
Putin is expected to release his retaliation list as early as Tuesday and while the final list is still being crafted, it will include top Obama administration officials and high profile U.S. senators, in an effort to roughly mirror the U.S. sanctions against Russian officials and lawmakers, according to diplomatic sources. At the top of the list in Congress is Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, who recently co-authored a resolution criticizing Russia’s invasion of Crimea.
Durbin’s inclusion on Putin’s list would mirror Obama’s naming of Valentina Matvienko, the head of the upper chamber of the Russian Duma. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are not expected to be on the Russian sanctions list.
