The speech did not include concrete policy proposals.

On foreign policy, Obama has tried to defend its doctrine of building coalitions and cooperation, to the detriment of military interventions and nation building, as was the case in the past.

The main priority is to protect the American people and hunted terrorist networks, Obama said, stressing that the jihadist group Islamic State "does not threaten US national existence.

Masses fighters sitting in the back of the jeep and tortured spirits who plot in apartments or garages are an enormous danger to civilians and must be stopped. But they do represent an existential threat to our nation, the US president said, according to AFP.

He urged the congressmen to overcome political partisanships put him often in dispute with Congress controlled by Republicans, and that will only intensify before the elections.

It can reach a better future, but this will only happen if we put in place the policy.

Speaking directly to elected representatives, he said that many of them have said they would like to cooperate more, but they are dependent on their political donors or party partisanship.

On the other hand, Obama appealed to the American people not to fall victim to frustration, tribalism and fanaticism.

We can not afford to go down this slope, we will not have the economy that we want or the security that we want and, most importantly, would contradict everything that makes us the envy of the world, he said.
