I would bet the house that full-time negotiation by any president for any length of time would be no more successful. How many presidents to we need to have work on this before the concept sinks in that maybe it isn't about the U.S. president doing or not doing something?
Currently, the ground position of one side is the annihilation of the other side. Until the Palestinian leadership changes, until they can bring a Ghandi forward as a leader instead of a terrorist, nothing is going to change.
