Obama's Word Count

As I was getting ready to go to bed last night I flip on the news just for some background noise. It was late so I wasn't paying attention or expecting any good information to pop out at me. Yet all of a sudden heard them talking about the Presidents words.

Here were some facts Politico Analysts found:

  • Obama is the President of a country engaged in two wars and facing terror threats at home and abroad
  • Obama has said more than a half-million words in public since taking office
  • He has said the word "health" more than “Iraq,” “Iran,” “Afghanistan” and “terrorism” combined.
  • He has said the word "economy" more than “Iraq,” “Iran,” “Afghanistan” and “terrorism” combined.
  • He says "jobs" twice more than "security" and four times more than "war".
  • "America" and "American" top the noun list with 2,929 mentions
  • "Gay" was uttered only 13 times
  • "Abortion was uttered only 15 mentions
  • "Immigration" was uttered only at 39 times
Ultimately he seems to be a President of a country experience peace not war and what seems to be true isn't always.

More thoughts to come...
