Why did Obama let this happen? ... and other questions about Ukraine

Why did U.S. President Barack Obama let this happen?

That's the question everyone in Washington, DC is asking. It's a perfectly reasonable question to ask—if you are incapable of seeing beyond the very dark hole into which you've placed your entire head.

On a related note, why did President Obama allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to host the Olympics, particularly with the Benghazi scandal still unresolved?

This is a crucial question, particularly since the International Olympic Committee awarded the games to Sochi in July, 2007. Unfortunately, we may never know the answer—unless House Government Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa succeeds in compelling former IRS nonprofit division head Lois Lerner to testify before his committee.
