Obama late for UN General Assembly address

For the first time, a US President was not the second speaker at UN's annual General Assembly's General Debate as Barack Obama arrived late for his last address as the Head of State. Obama missed his turn as the second speaker, which promoted President of the General Assembly to call Chad's leader, who was the next speaker on the list, to make his national statement. The US has traditionally been the second speaker in the General Debate after Brazil.
