War? What War?
Did you know we’re still at war? You wouldn’t know it by the way the Command In Chief of our military carries himself. The politico has a story up today that analyzes Obama’s words:
Obama has uttered more than a half-million words in public since taking office Jan. 20 – and a POLITICO analysis of nearly every word in this vast public record shows that domestic topics dominate, so much so that Obama sounds more like a peacetime president than a commander-in-chief with more than 100,000 troops in the field.
He has spoken the words “health” and “economy” each more often than the words “Iraq,” “Iran,” “Afghanistan” and “terrorism” combined, the analysis shows.

Sorry, guys. If he were using the words as indicated, you’d be complaining that he’s trying to meddle in the war when the generals should be in charge.
I think it actually speaks well of the military that he is able to also focus on domestic issues.
NY-David
But see we AREN’T fighting a war on terror, according to Obama. We are in an “overseas contingency operation.” That’s nothing, p-shaw! Nothing to see here, move along, keep walking.
Obama is in complete campaign mode. I think it was the NYT that even had an op-ed that said he would be known as the President who talked and traveled the most…he’s narcissistic, talks over people, commands attention, but has nothing to say. He abuses the traveling on AF1, he cannot sit at the WH and do his JOB. Instead he’s got to tote around that ungrateful wife, and children who should be in school, to places like the Grand Canyon.
Mark my words, we will have spent 10 times the amount on his travel then we have on any other POTUS. He just cannot put the brakes on his spend-spend-spend behavior.
