Abstract
In this year's State of the Union President Bush tried to please the Congress where the Democrats hold the majority, trying at the same time not to irritate too much the international community which shows the increase of anti-American feelings. The outcome of such an approach is a general State of the Union, mild in rhetoric, without any announcements of more radical turnovers in American domestic and foreign policy, with almost no interest for the media, but with enough material for those who criticize the President to attack. At the end one can feel that in their analysis of this year's State of the Union a part of the media and of the analysts are focused on the current American policy, primarily war in Iraq, using this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with the George Bush's governance.
