A Look at Which Words Were Said the Most
A few days ago, President Barack Obama made his fifth State of the Union address to the nation.
President Obama addressed a very divided nation on Tuesday night - a nation that still continues to suffer from high unemployment, a nation that still faces the threat of terrorism every day and a nation that is facing yet another bare knuckle brawl over the country's debt ceiling.
What would Obama say to the nation? What would be his priorities going forward?

As I like to do every year, I ran President Obama's speech through a program that counts how many times he said certain words.
I thought that I would point out the interesting words that popped up at least five times throughout the course of Obama's address:
Here you go:
"jobs" or "job" - 37 times
"help" - 31 times
"work" - 27 times
"businesses" - 15 times
"support" - 13 times
"opportunity" - 12 times
"economy" - 11 times
"families" - 11 times
