Obama is a problem solver. That's pretty much all he does. This Russian/Ukraine crisis will end with pretty much no casualties and nothing but talk and Obama knew it. Instead of rushing in there and making a big deal about nothing (aka Republicans), we will have a diplomatic solution to this soon. Obama making Putin his bitch, gotta love America!!

Russian President Vladimir Putin phoned his U.S. counterpart, Barack Obama, on Friday to discuss the tenuous situation in Ukraine -- the latest exchange between two leaders who have been at loggerheads about what's happened and what should happen next.
According to the White House, Putin called to talk about an American proposal "for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis" and the two presidents agreed that their respective top diplomats "would meet to discuss next steps."
The back-and-forth also gave Obama the opportunity to express, as he's done repeatedly in recent week, his opposition to what he described as Russia's taking over of Crimea, which just a few weeks ago was part of Ukraine. He also raised concerns about a reported massing of Russian troops near the border, which has raised fear of further incursions.
