Not that I wanted him to follow through, I never expected he would.
Now it'll look like he engineered this cease fire of the war he started when he knuckled under to Netanyahoo. He'll take a victory lap if the cease fire holds, even though it should have never been needed.
His base will see him as a great leader as the price of oil gradually drifts down to close to where it was before he started this war; a war that cost us at least $100 billion, the lives of 13 men and women, and the good will of all our allies.
Never has the United States been so humiliated as by our own president. Never have we looked so weak as when we let Israel push us into a war with their enemy; a war they clearly didn't want to take on alone.
Never has an American President look so greedy as our current president who will probably leave office with $30-40 billion more than when he was elected.
Never have we seen and heard an American President so vulgar as our current president.
And yet his popularity hovers around 40% of people in many polls.
Two things are absolutely clear at this point: We are the big losers in this war, and the Russians are the big winners.
