The main tier of the analysis was a topic by topic breakdown of the President's speech, complete with video and a written transcript. This interactive graphic allowed for you to click a variety of topics covered by the President in the speech and then the video and transcript would automatically redirect to the exact point in the speech where Obama addressed the issue. I saw this as a very unbiased way to allow easy access for people to watch the speech that missed it on Tuesday night.
The next segment provided a "highlights" tab from the address offering brief proposition about Obama's plans and innovations in the fields of education, housing, insourcing/outsourcing, energy, taxes and using war savings for infrastructure. The third portion presented a bar graph compared the word count of Obama's speech to past president's. According to the graph, throughout history, U.S. presidents have used as few as 1,089 words to as many as 33,667 words in official and unofficial State of the Union addresses to outline proposals for the country. Obama's speech on Tuesday consistered of 6,817 words. The final component of the piece was a compilation of videos with American voters responding to the address, negatively and positively.
I really enjoyed the way the Post-Dispatch covered this address because it offered an unbiased, one-stop way for people to efficiently watch the speech, analyze Obama's propositions, compare his speech to past addresses and listen to other voters' commentary and critiques of this years State of the Union.
