State of the Union: Obama goes off script after applause dig (Video)

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama had the last laugh during an off-script moment in his State of the Union address Tuesday evening.

Toward the end of his speech, Obama said he has 鈥渘o more campaigns to run鈥 — a comment that drew some scattered applause from the GOP-controlled Congress.

When the president realized the dig, he turned it around with a smirk.

鈥淚 know because I won both of them,鈥 he said, referring to his two victorious presidential elections.

The unplanned comment drew laughter, applause and even a standing ovation from parts of the crowd on the House floor.
