1. I did a Wordle on my dissertation when i finished it

:D

[NYC_SKP]

2. sweet! "people" the main word. Not "terror" or "911"... n/t

[Bucky]

14. I think he left those words out just to piss off the wingnuts

Good on him. Our spin is "Republicans talk about it, Democrats get it done."

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. Waht? NO "terror"...no " Al-CIA-duh "

no Iraq, War, FEAR, that BUSH's speeches were full of?

Nice change.

Now, if we can see action on the "work" "jobs" etc. pls, Mr. President.

[undeterred]

4. no BIPARTISANSHIP!

:toast: :party:

[Merlot]

5. Nice positive words, but to bad 'women" is so small

[Bucky]

15. I likes 'em small!

Oh, wait, I see what you're talking about. Nevermind.

[LostInAnomie]

6. Doesn't matter.

Repuke talking heads have scoured his speech looking for just one obscure word that they will then say shows "Obama doesn't care about __________."

It doesn't matter what it is or what he says, they always do it.

[many a good man]

7. Here's another view

[whatchamacallit]

8. Love these word clouds thingys (nt)

[Maru Kitteh]

9. I like it!

[Haole Girl]

10. What is the difference between a word cloud and a word fart?

:rofl:



:hide:

[bridgit]

12. Geography?

[bridgit]

11. Yep. It's not just the message it's what's *in* the message

Let that wash over republicans, they will not have so forward-thinking a response it is simply not in them :kick:

[Robb]

13. Morning kick. nt

[Fumesucker]

16. Interesting that a cursory viewing shows nothing about the two wars we are in..

Clearly wars are no big deal..

[Cal Carpenter]

17. Yeah it's weird

I had a similar thought. There's something reassuring about that word cloud on a certain level, but not if it means we are ignoring some serious issues. Our foreign policy, our military spending, we can't pretend they aren't totally connected to whatever domestic policies we want to focus on...
