His own best case
Article Abstract:
President Bill Clinton's 1999 state-of-the-union address was in line with his long-term policy of focusing on areas where it is very difficult for the Republicans to be critical without appearing to be mean-spirited or lacking in ideology. Clinton made it clear that he wishes to take the credit for the significant improvement in the fiscal position since he took office in 1993. He also encouraged Americans to look to the 21st century and to avoid becoming restricted by controversy. His message clearly showed him as a ruthless and intelligent politician.

Syntaxgate passes
Article Abstract:
The administration's buildup of George Bush's speech before Congress on Jan. 29, 1992 was such that the address itself could not possibly meet expectations. However, the speech was one of Bush's better efforts, if the usual grammatical shortcomings are overlooked.
