Obama gets tough on Russia: Issues sanctions on 11 guys

Welcome back, Carter

Barack Obama is proving to be a bigger wuss than even Jimmy Carter. Dear Leader got his pen out and issued another one of his epic executive orders, as Reuters tells us.

Obama's order freezes any assets in the United States and bans travel into the country of seven ranking Russian government officials and four individuals identified as Crimea-based separatist leaders. Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, who fled Kiev after bloody protests against his rule, was among those sanctioned.

That's eleven people.

Eleven.

Vladimir Putin will surely surrender now.
