Well, the topic is a little dated as the State of the Union was back in January, but I found this NY Post Infographic to be really nice. It shows, over time, the relative usage of words within the President’s State of the Union speech. You might infer that the frequency of word usage matches the importance of the word or concept. What is great about the infographic is the interactive nature of it. It is also great that you can see the word as it is used in the various speeches.

Worth a click to play around with it.
