Obama Can Not Change Now

I had an opportunity to compare Obama's words when he spoke at a rally in Grant Park in Chicago after winning the election in November as opposed to his inaugural address. Two words he favored in Chicago were: "can" and "change."


Word Frequency %


can 13 0.57
change 6 0.26


He seems less hopeful now, as if he can not, and he has no change.


Word Frequency %


can 13 0.46
change 1 0.04


In his inaugural address, "can" is down to being used less and "change" barely appears at all.
