More on the Obama speech

Of course, this being the age of the internet we can view word count comparisons from the Barack Obama inauguration speech and those of previous presidents in the "word clouds" here.

Note that the word used most often by Obama was nation, while that used most often by George W Bush was freedom. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, emphasised the new century in his second inaugural speech. I don't think we can draw any meaning from these comparisons. It is hardly surprising that the word uppermost in Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural speech was war.
