Maybe it's just that I have a "Yeah, whatever" view of politics in fiction anyway (barring real aberrations like the Draka or whatever the Cenobite expies from SWEU are called) but the only part of the whole thing that ever seemed to be "going too far" in that sequence were Tony Stark's internal monologue, which a) is Tony Stark professional opinionated asshole and b) Tony Stark, professional opinionated asshole, in the middle of one of his deepest assholier than thou periods and just beginning to pick up on that fact in the course of the conversation. The meanings attributed to the significant looks and implied communication between other characters in the room are filtered through the veiwpoint character, even if they were laid on a bit strong.
Aside from that, what DreadnoughtVV said.
