in 2008, after taking office, President Obama ceases to use the phrasing of "the War on Terror," replacing it instead with the title "Overseas Contingency Operations" (Beck refers to this as "dazzlingly boring [...] a phrase shipping companies might use in discussing potential solutions to supply chain issues")
Washington Post, at the time, writes "Bush's 'War' on Terror Comes to a Sudden End" -- while also noting that "Obama says he has no plans to diminish counterterrorism operations abroad"
