President Obama had a sassy response to his Republican critics in what may be the greatest State of the Union comeback in American history.

Reading from prepared remarks Tuesday night to the entirety of the American government (minus one), Obama said "I have no more campaigns to run." That remark elicited applause from his critics in the crowd, who were all too happy to see him go.

But Obama wasn't done, snapping back: "I know because I won both of them."
