Trying to cash in on some Web2.0 glamour, the White House has published an ‘enhanced’ version of last night’s State of the Union address, combining it with a series of infographics reinforcing the points made and providing some interesting trivial along the way.
President Obama speaks about moving forward to create jobs, out-compete in the global economy by investing in innovation and education, and win the future for our children and our country. This enhanced version features charts, graphs and other visual aids that accompany the President’s speech. January 25, 2010.

Thanks again for your clear information and break out of the infographics
In case you’re interested, I compiled all the visualizations from the enhanced version of the State of the Union speech with links to the parts of the video each visualization was shown in. You can view the visualizations at:

Overall, I think the use of visualizations in the State of the Union validates the usefulness of data visualization at a level we haven’t seen before.
