Franklin D. Roosevelt privilégiait «War », JF Kennedy : «New», Jimmy Carter «Soviet» et Bill Clinton «People». À l'occasion du discours sur l'état de l'Union, le site DailyBeast a analysé 20 des plus célèbres discours présentés par les chefs d'État américains pour en faire ressortir les mots les plus utilisés par chacun d'eux.
L'exercice graphique, révélateur, trace un portrait des temps forts des derniers présidents. L'an dernier, Barack Obama avait, en 6095 mots -et 51 minutes- surtout employé «American», «economy», «people» et «health». Cette fois-ci, même si ce n'est pas le plus récurrent, le mot Spoutnik sera certainement le plus associé au dernier discours de l'actuel président.

Woodrow Wilson
December 4, 1917
3,918 words
28 minutes (est.)
America was more than six months into World War I when Woodrow Wilson, the first modern president to turn the State of the Union into a speech rather than a written report, addressed Congress for the fifth time, and it shows in Wilson’s words: German, War, Peace, and Purpose loom large.
Warren G. Harding
December 8, 1922
5,745 words
39 minutes (est.)
Where would the country head after World War I? Warren G. Harding had a vision for normalcy, a return to life before the war, which in practice meant a federal program to expand the nation’s highways, a conciliatory attitude toward labor groups, support for anti-lynching legislation, and a “Voyage of Understanding” in 1923 that saw an ailing Harding attempt to reconnect with Americans and become the first president to visit Alaska and CanadA
Calvin Coolidge
December 6, 1923
6,703 words
48 minutes (est.)
For a president who advocated for smaller government, Calvin Coolidge sure let Government play a prominent role in his first State of the Union address. This speech by “Silent Cal”—so called for being a man of few words in private—was the first to be broadcast nationally on the radio.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
January 3, 1934
2,230 words
16 minutes (est.)
Still lurching out of the Great Depression, Roosevelt provided guidance on how citizens could find jobs and, most of all, how they could come together and recover as a nation from a devastating economic crisis whose repercussions were still felt.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
January 6, 1942
3,511 words
25 minutes (est.)
This speech, one of the most significant State of the Union addresses ever, took place just a month after Pearl Harbor as evidenced by the dominant word of the speech: WAR.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
January 7, 1943
4,588 words
33 minutes (est.)
More war talk, but this time, the word clouds reflect the arsenal of democracy’s transformation into the world’s industrial superpower.
