Scott Browns four challenges
Obama handcuffed by Ukraine
All of these midterm developments come as President Obama finds himself handcuffed by another foreign-policy matter -- this time the geopolitical standoff in Ukraine. The problem for the White House is that the matter is fundamentally unresolvable: Even if conflict is averted, it wont happen in a way that many Americans find satisfying or triumphant. In other words, there will be no killing Osama bin Laden moment here, even if the White House pretty much gets what it wants. On Sunday, the White House released a readout of Obamas phone call with Vladimir Putins after Crimeas controversial vote to annex with Russia. President Obama emphasized that the Crimean referendum, which violates the Ukrainian constitution and occurred under duress of Russian military intervention, would never be recognized by the United States and the international community, the White Houses readout said. He emphasized that Russia's actions were in violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and that, in coordination with our European partners, we are prepared to impose additional costs on Russia for its actions. President Obama underscored that there remains a clear path for resolving this crisis diplomatically, in a way that addresses the interests of both Russia and the people of Ukraine. The other problem for the White House: With a midterm election to be focused largely on domestic matters, the president finds himself stuck dealing with foreign policy.
Wheres the OFA cavalry?

Hooray for Savannah Guthrie!
