This is ridiculous. Ambassador Yovanovitch is a career foreign servant who has served as Ambassador under Republicans and Democrats alike. She is not “Obama’s” Ambassador in Ukraine any more than she was President Bush’s in Kyrgyzstan or Armenia. 
This already make the US look like an awful, unreliable mess, but wow, what a signal to Ukraine a week before its Presidential election.
As an American, it’s not just embarrassing to me, it’s deeply, deeply saddening.

Our support for democratic values is one of our strongest calling cards. If an unfounded, politically motivated accusation can cause the President’s son to call for the replacement of an career ambassador in a place as strategically important for the US as Ukraine...
...it really calls into question how committed we are to those values after all. It certainly doesn’t make us look like the leader of the democratic world.
And in case you don’t think this reverberating in Ukraine, the spox for Lutsenko, the Prosecutor General who levied these ridiculous accusations, RTd Don Jr’s tweet (h/t @ChristopherJM)
