President Obama caused a bit of a stir at the United Nations after one of the delegates called him out for snapping selfies when he should have been paying attention.

A Fox News clip captured the scene, in which one of the delegates called for Mr. Obama — and then called again. The video then flashed to Mr. Obama with a couple of women off to the side, while the delegate made a half-joking remark about the president and selfies.

But that image isn’t the only one of the president at the United Nations to bring on the criticism. Twitchy picked up several social media commenters who found Mr. Obama’s facial expressions and pose in the oversized chair he sat in, pre-speech, to be less-than-presidential.

“I’m the president, BRING ME MY SIPPY CUP!” one wrote, in reference to a shot of Mr. Obama’s edge-of-seat pose in a oversized chair, right before his speech.

And another wrote, about the same photo: “Thank you — and now I’ll sit in a huge chair that makes me look like a little boy.”

Still one more: “Tiny Obama back in the huge chair at UN.”

And again: “Sums up Obama, little man w/small mind & big ego sitting in a to[o] big chair.”
