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 “no more campaigns to run” — 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.
“I know because I won both of them,” 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.
