President Obama’s State of the Union speeches compared (with word clouds!)

President Obama didn’t pull any punches in his second to last State of the Union, and it was refreshing to see the normally measured president, let his sassy side out.

Metro collected the President’s speeches from this year and last year, and made them into word clouds. Why? Well, we like pretty things and thought that it would be a great visual aid in comparing the president’s two speeches.

In our word clouds the size of the word indicates the frequency with which it was used. The clouds do not include commonly used words and were limited to the top fifty used words.

What did you think of the President’s address? This is what some folks on twitter thought:

Does Boener have to look like he’s getting a colonoscopy everytime Obama says something good about America? I thought Repubs loved America?

I keep rewinding to “stop rewarding companies that keep profits abroad and reward those that invest here in America” to watch Boehner scowl.
