    Saw an interesting analysis of Obama’s State of the Union address comparing the number of times words were used going back to the Bush administration. (Either the Wall Street Journal or Washington Post) About the only one not repeated this year that had been in every address for 8 years was “Osama bin Laden”. Also there was a distinctly lower emphasis this year on the word “change”
    Would be interesting to do a word count on Big Jake compared to Thabo. And to see what the ANC have achieved over the years.
    I have a feeling we’ll be emphasising “History” this year because the “future” is just too hard.

    I struggle to understand the national hype around this speech. It is JUST A SPEECH! It doesn’t mean a thing -it’s like writing a letter to Santa Clause…

    Except I’d sooner believe in Santa than JZ’s promises…
