From what once was the most powerful office in the free world? You certainly have low expectations of the President of the United States. You are getting your wish though. Egypt brokered the Gaza cease fire, we didn't. England is trying to form a coalition, we're not. England's intelligence identified the beheader of the journalist, we didn't. Yes, we no longer are a major player on the world stage.

Good!

About time someone else tries and fails to clean up the middle east's never-ending squabbles.

Not our fight. It's a simple as that.
