This project is a visualization of all US presidential state of the union addresses from the year 1790
to 2011. The software analyzes each speech and gathers the most frequent words used in the speech.
It then constructs an interactive histogram and cumulative distribution function graph for each speech.

The data for this project was acquired from the American Presidency Project 
(http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu) and manipulated using python scripting and the BeautifulSoup library.

Below are screenshots from the visualization software:
