President Barrack Obama's 2010 State of the Union

After watching the State of the Union and looking at the Wordle of President Obama's speech I believe that we do have an optimistic future. He uses many words that describe time like year, time, last, took, and decades which represents looking at the past, learning from it, and putting our our ideas into plan. A majority if not all of the words can be used in a positive tone, which he did, meaning that he has plans to correct the past and implement his new actions into the future. Throughout his speech he called on the Americans to help him achieve not only his, but also our goals. He decided to create a bill to pump millions of dollars into small businesses. President Obama would not do that unless he was optimistic that their would be a positive recoil. I also see many adjectives like "difficult" and I also see actions like steps which I inferred were describing his future actions to "better" the United States of America.

Compared to Obama's State of the Union Wordle and former President Bush's I can clearly see that Bush's contains a majority of negative terms. He focuses on terrorism, Iraq, fighting, and troops. Although a completely different tone the still talk about the "future" but President Bush is more pessimistic. Just by looking at the Wordle I can see that we have either come a long way or the two presidents have a completely different mindset and promote different subjects. The main idea of Bush's was to designate what we were going to do in Iraq and Obama's was what we plan to do for our country. The main thing that stands out to me is that one year has elapsed between the two statements and the goals of the country has drastically changed. We went from trying to win a war to trying to bring soldiers out and we went from having the war as the most significant event to the future of our economy.
