Calling Off the Charge of the Slight Brigade

Apparently, President Obama might not to go Russia in response to the crisis in Ukraine's Crimea.

That will teach Putin:

U.S. officials said President Barack Obama may cancel plans to attend an international summit in Russia this year and could halt discussions on deepening trade ties with Moscow, raising specific possible consequences if Russia intervenes in Ukraine. Obama bluntly warned of unspecified "costs" for Russia.

In addition to possibly not attending the summit, I hear that Putin will also be denied a gift of volume 2 of the president's speeches.
