State of the Union



In advance of President Obama's State of the Union speech tonight, here's a quick look at his past addresses to Congress and the policy issues they covered. This chart shows the number of words devoted to each policy area in each speech.

The topics are coded chronologically, so the same policy area might be covered in multiple parts of the same speech. Also, not all topics are mutually exclusive; science and technology sections often include discussion of jobs, etc.
