Who’s holding “hostages” ????

President Obama is supposed to be an intellectual and yet, he can’t seem to find enough words to describe different situations.  According to CBS news, his favorite word of late is “hostage”.

For a man who is described as “brilliant” by those who promote him, Obama sure can’t seem to figure out the American language….or, for that matter, anything else American! Instead, he latches onto a word like hostage and just keeps hammering it into his speeches.   According to him, anything that contradicts his agenda is held hostage by his opponents.

It seems to me that Obamacare, the stimulus, and cap and trade, are going to make hostages of the American taxpayer for the rest of our lives!

In fact, who’s holding hostages now?
