President Obama has already said that he’s “deeply concerned” about the crisis in Ukraine, so we’ll guess that’s where he’ll remain on the White House Concern-o-Meter; we don’t believe he’s ever gone higher. Chess champion and Human Rights Foundation chair Garry Kasparov is hoping for a little more, though.
Maybe here on Twitter we can suggest some alternatives to "concerned" for Obama on Ukraine. I would like to see "outraged".

@Kasparov63: It's not in Obama the man. He is thoroughly steeped in the leftist, academic vision of American & the world. He's an ideologue.

Will President Obama rise to the level of deep concern expressed by President Jimmy Carter?
"The Soviets must understand our deep concern." – Jimmy Carter after USSR invaded Afghanistan. (Although he did announce strong sanctions!)
