In this Feb. 28, 2014, photo, President Barack Obama speaks about the ongoing situation in Ukraine in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington. Analysts and former Obama administration officials say Russia is unlikely to pull back its forces in Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula, forcing the United States and Europe into a more limited strategy of trying to prevent President Vladimir Putin from making advances elsewhere in the former Soviet republic. It’s an unsettling scenario for Obama, who is under pressure to show he has leverage over Putin in a deepening conflict between East and West. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Deputy Administrator Thomas M. Harrigan, left, and U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado John Walsh, are sworn in on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, March 4, 2014, prior to testifying before the House Oversight subcommittee on Government Operations hearing on the Obama Administration’s policies on marijuana. In an election year that could tip the balance of power in Congress, some Republicans have accused the White House of cherry-picking which federal laws to enforce. The administration has said it continues to pursue dangerous criminals, but Obama himself last month in an interview declared marijuana no more dangerous than alcohol and contrasted it with “harder drugs” including cocaine and methamphetamine.
