>> i think so, too. i have sort of a suspicion, though, that the trip to europe and the perceived ill reception he got from european leaders probably didn't endear him to the idea. i do think the president takes a lot of things personally. >> anything paris in it is sort of out? >> if it's coming from continental or new -- if it's old europe, yeah. i don't know if he likes it or not. i have a feeling that that probably had something to do with it. it was not a good reception the way he was treated over there. so i have a feeling this president takes things personally and probably was just like...
