This is not any better than the reply about Obama. The intention of the snark is clear, and does not contribute to useful discourse. Please don't.

Somewhere it's written that he and his team discussed internally about refusing it, but thought that action would be considered arrogant and diplomatically bad form.

Meanwhile 17 years later...
