Petulant & unhelpful of the US to walk out on Rouhani's first UNGA address. More Obama rhetoric undone by reality
-
-
@asteris When people say a delegation walked out,it means all the UN mission staff for that state. US mission stayed this year for Rouhani. -
@curtiskj you mean, only technically -
@asteris No, US mission was present. Unheard of for POTUS to be in auditorium, US Rep also only stops in rarely. Totally normal presence. -
@curtiskj would've been a gesture for Power to stay on. Guess there are people who live off measuring these things in minutes & dress colors -
@asteris Maybe but it's a pretty big deal that they stayed in the room to begin with. Besides, what Iran's mission do during Obama's? -
@curtiskj my guess would be tit-for-tat, for the foreseeable future (both of them, that is). It really does feel like a blind date

@asteris It is not the heads of state sitting in the auditorium. They are off having meetings. Obama at CGI (pre-scheduled).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
