Barack Obama's words downplay wars

He may be presiding over two wars and facing a terror threat at home and abroad, but you'd hardly know it from listening to President Barack Obama speak.

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.
