There was that infamous "red line" that Obama drew regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria. When Assad started to use them, Obama was quick to say he never said that; the rest of the world said it, certainly not him. So, that line when bye-bye.
Now comes the Ukranian "line." Obama sternly warned Russia and Putin not to step over the line. Now, if Obama can't deal with a tin-horn like Assad over THAT line, how does he expect us or the rest of the world to believe he's going to deal with Putin and the NEW line?
The whole crux of the issue, of course, is that Obama spins lines faster that a spider weaving a web. There are a lot of other similarities in that comparison, too. But, now that the Olympics are over, the possibility that Putin is going to cross the "new" line increase dramatically. Just don't be to blame for swallowing Obama's line about this line, or any other of his endless line of lines for that matter.
