Today, President Obama, in speaking of the deal he struck with Republicans on the tax cuts and extended benefits, etal...he referred to the Republican Party as "hostage takers"....he said

""It's tempting not to negoitate with hostage takers unless the hostage gets harmed," President Obama said at his Tuesday press conference.

"In this case, the hostage was the American people," Obama said."


I think that is lousy way to speak of a deal he struck and is patently unfair.

Does anyone else see the choice of words as POOR ! Wonder what would be the definition of the Democratic congress actions...hmmmmm
