This is downright hilarious
At least I think so. It's definitely worth a listen. My favorite part is when they call it a new version.
Poorly stated
President Obama:
I think it's tempting not to negotiate with hostage takers, unless the hostage gets harmed.Let's assume he meant "is going to get harmed." Anyhow, doesn't the qualifier mean that one should always negotiate with hostage takers?
This blog has no opinion on President Obama, on those he calls hostage takers, on the taking of hostages, or on whether one should negotiate with hostage takers. (In private life, I may have such opinions.)
