Washington (CNN) -- It must have been at least a little satisfying Thursday for President Barack Obama.
He had repeatedly warned Russian President Vladimir Putin against annexing Crimea from Ukraine, threatening tougher sanctions aimed at the Russian economy.
Following the Russian parliament's vote to approve the annexation, Obama made a previously unscheduled appearance before TV cameras to essentially tell Putin: I told you I'd do it.
"These are all choices that the Russian government has made, choices that have been rejected by the international community, as well as the government of Ukraine," Obama said. "And because of these choices, the United States is today moving, as we said we would, to impose additional costs on Russia."

He froze the bank accounts of people who had no US bank accounts, and he forbade them entrance to Disney World. They haven’t stopped laughing since he announced his crackdown. I really wish he’d have just rammed Obastardcare down their throats.

0bama can stick his pen where the sun don't shine, and call Reggie Love to extract it. Chrissie "Tingles" Matthews would cross-check Reggie into the boards for a taste of that...
