Really all you have to do is continuously mention the people, the nation, sprinkle in some law, freedom, and on occasion peace and you've got it.
The word choice between the presidents doesn't necessarily alter that much throughout the existence of the United states. The same bland speech is given every four years with maybe a address to some event that would have been going on at the time to give it like a false uniqueness to it. That...may not be fair to say.
Actually it was really interesting being able to see the new vocabulary of presidents' speeches in the times they served and during the events they served in. George Washington used Nation the most, probably because the nation was just being born. Abraham Lincoln used the word war the most because he was president during the Civil War, arguably the worst war America has ever had a part or parts of. And so on.
Of course, the all knowing and oh so wise George W. Bush chose to say freedom the most which really didn't seem to have much relevance to anything for me. Maybe its because I don't like him or maybe he was really concerned about losing freedom during the terrorist attacks. Okay, I'll give him some credit.
It would just be nice to hear a president say something else, preferably from the heart, not by his personally writer or whatever.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the best president ever.
