Barack Obama: “I will hold you to your pledge to get this done.”

I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.
