This is a word cloud of Obama's press conference last night. I think my favorite part is how prominently the word "well" figures. In the Obama lexicon, "well" is more important than "families" or "deficit," or the entirety of his foreign policy. It's a good thing they don't transcribe "uhhs" and "umms."

The transcript of his last prime-time press conference was equally without hope, but "crisis" and "spending" were pretty popular.
