Frequent White House critic Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said today on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that President Obama should use the world “terrorism” more frequently.

Host George Stephanopoulos interviewed King, who said someone should be held accountable in the wake of the failed terror attempt on Flight 253.

The host asked “one other specific recommendation the president could implement.”

“One main thing would be, just himself, to use the word ‘terrorism’ more often,” King said.

A quick search shows that Obama used the word “terrorism” at least seven times in less than a month, including during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech and when announcing his new plan for more troops in Afghanistan.

Some Republicans have incorrectly claimed Obama doesn’t use the word at all.
