NBC: Obama at G-7 Leaves Iraq's Prime Minister Abadi Hanging
Talk about an awkward moment: Iraq's prime minister found himself literally edged out by a trio of world leaders including President Barack Obama on Monday.
Obama — who is in Germany for the G-7 summit — was chatting with Italy's prime minister and the managing director of the IMF when Iraqi Prime Minister Hayder al-Abadi sidled up and took a seat on their bench.
In a cringe-worthy encounter captured on video, Obama and the other leaders appear to be unaware of the Iraqi leader's presence.
WNU Editor: Optics is everything at these summits .... and this looks bad. I will not be surprised if this video is now being played extensively in the Middle East.
