Word Cloud of President Obama's 2013 State of the Union Speech

We'll be coming back to the SOTU for the energy bits.
In the meantime I am reminded of a quote from a trade union activist:

"...We do want more, and when it becomes more, we shall still want more. 
And we shall never cease to demand more until we have received the results of our labor."
-Samuel Gompers
Louisville Courier Journal, May 2, 1890

Of course Gompers had the brains to also say:
"The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit."  
Other word clouds do not have 'more' front and center despite the President using the word "more" than 35 times.
