Sen. Lindsey Graham compliments Obama on action over Ukraine
Sen. Lindsey Graham compliments Obama on action over Ukraine
(CNN) - A fierce congressional critic of the Obama administration's foreign policy gave the President credit Thursday for recent actions he's taken in the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said on CNN's "Crossfire" that Obama had done “a very good job” in the last 24 hours. The South Carolina Republican added “I appreciate what he did today. Thank God he’s upping his game.”
The administration is pursuing a diplomatic strategy along with European allies to remedy the crisis, and has threatened economic and other sanctions if the matter cannot be resolved, as well as expanded visa bans. President Obama has called Russian President Vladimir Putin's incursion into Ukraine a violation of international law, and says the Ukrainian people should determine their own destiny.
Graham’s compliment Thursday stands in contrast to comments he made over the weekend.

Who ever wrote that headline should go back to journalism school - probably it was a republican.
Notice how the headline includes Graham's title and first name, BUT there is NO 'Barack' or 'President' before the word 'Obama'.
