Inaugural words in tag clouds

I am a fan of information design and finding new ways to present information. After the inauguration speech of President Obama I came across some nice tag clouds with his words. (The one above is by Emily Chang.) I am surprised how well they convey the most important points in his speech!

The New York Times took it out fully, and got a page with tag clouds of every presidential inaugural speech since 1789. Very impressive, also very spot on and typical for the situation of the country at the corresponding times, and absolutely worth a look!
