‘This Is Not the Faculty Lounge’: Foreign Relations Head Rips Obama UN Speech

Obama Ushering In a ‘Post-American World’
Haass MJ 9-21-16
Richard Haass is the quintessential memeber of the foreign policy establishment. Long-time President of the Council on Foreign Relations, Haass has served in Republican and Democrat administrations and advised candidates from both parties. In this election, he has been very critical of Donald Trump.
So no taint of partisanship can be applied to the normally mild-mannered Haass’ scathing comments on today’s Morning Joe about President Obama’s UN speech of yesterday. After calling the speech a “major disappointment,” Haass unleashed the unkindest cut, saying of Obama’s detached attitude to the crises of the day “this is not the faculty lounge.” Ouch.
