The White House posted the full script of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address to Medium on Tuesday night, just before he began his speech to Congress and the nation.

So we took a quick look at which words seemed to come up often, and which ones didn't. Below is a graph that tracks the number of times each word was used. (Sorry, no word clouds.) We removed a lot of words that were relatively generic, trying to focus on words that spoke to the issues addressed in the speech.

The result? Obama's focus on the economy and middle class shows through.
