If the situation in Ukraine does not result in a military conflict between the U.S. and Russia, Obama will have successfully taken western Ukraine from Russian control. This combined with the crippling effects of the current sanctions that have been imposed against Russia, along with the huge decline in the price of oil means that Russia's Eurasian Union project has been stifled for a long time. The Eurasian project would have fused European and Russian resources into a formidable union that would rival the economic power of the U.S. and thus would have severely eroded though not entirely destroyed the power of the U.S. dollar. As such Obama may have saved the U.S. dollar.
