Hopefully this ceasefire will hold, but an observation how President Biden dealt with this crisis

[JohnSJ]

behind the scenes, in contrast to the former guy who would have been tweeting messages that throw fire and inciting more violence to the situation

It is also being reported that the Iran nuclear talks have resumed

I think there is a lot of quiet things going on behind the scenes that will be the pattern of how the Biden administration will get things done.

1. And he didn't take the bait when he was getting attacked from all sides

He didn't defend himself or go after the people who were criticizing him. He just kept quietly doing what he was doing behind the scenes until he got a result.

Leadership.

[JohnSJ]

2. Yes

[Stuart G]

4. JOE KNOWS THE SHOW..& perhaps he got help from others.."Who Know the Show"

He has seen the show before, been in other shows, knows the script, and how to say the lines...

repeat: Joe Knows the Show

10. Exactly.

What a difference an experienced and intelligent president makes.

[Ohioboy]

5. Yes

He didn't give anyone a derogatory nick name, or claim everything against him was "fake news".

[George II]

9. That's exactly what I was going to say. He resisted reacting to all the trash thrown his way....

...much of it from his own party members. He made a few vague statements here and there, but never addressed any directly.

He knew what he was doing, he knew all the personalities, and he closed the deal.

As you said, one word: Leadership!

[AlexSFCA]

3. He handled it gracefully

quietly. Didn’t not bow down to far left while still delivering the result. That’s professionalism.

6. K&R...

[Beastly Boy]

7. That's not fair!

Biden had it easy. He didn't have Kushner on his side to fuck things up!

[panader0]

8. The Iran negotiations are definitely part of the equation.

11. Agreed
