Ah, but what say does he have in the matter?

He's the President of the United States. He has as much say as he WANTS to have.

A President has to be diplomatic, no matter his personal feelings. It is a prerequisite is it not?

The only meaningful prerequisite for serving as President is to be a natural born U.S. citizen, and to swear to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

In the case of the U.N., they qualify under both categories, a collection of foreign enemies, common crooks and con men, and they're located domestically in downtown New York City.

Mr. President? Throw the bums out!

I'm with you, and I'm not even American. I think your country has put up with way more crap than they deserve from the UN. I think that if the UN must exist, than maybe they should set up shop in Switzerland. Seems like a good place for them. Not as far for them to go to access their bank accounts.
