I don't think I've ever seen a SOTU address where the President ridiculed his opponents positions. It was a very effective tactic.

I loved how it was all he could do sometimes to suppress an out right $#!#eating grin.

I didn't think it was so much ridicule as it was some well-deserved b***h slappin'. It's just that he has such a classy way of doing it, it has an entertainment quality to it. They are trashing him every time they open their mouths in front of a camera or microphone, completely disrespectful of both the president and the office. They lie shamelessly about him and work hard to get others to believe their lies. They got better than they deserved in my opinion.

I also thought that when he was talking about the middle east that there was another very subtle layer of meaning in the words that implied a domestic parallel. I may be reading something into it that wasn't there, but it was applicable nevertheless.

By doing so, Bush was attempting to keep people from realizing that much of his record and agenda fr bigger government is very similar to that of his opponents.

In other words, he was hiding behind his attacks on his opponents.
