Apr 27 2009, 2:05 PM ET Comment

It's no surprise Barack Obama has used the word "president" more than any other (661 times so far). Or that the second most frequent word is "work" (657) followed by "jobs" (452) - the signs of a politician trying to beat back recession. What's odd is that, for an election season dominated by Iraq, Afghanistan and Gitmo, "war" (114)  has been used by the president just 114 times so far.  A word cloud by the Atlantic's Chris Van Burden.
