"I have no more campaigns to run," Obama said to emphasize his point.
Claps could be then heard on the Republican side of the House chamber, and Obama paused.
"I know because I won both of them," he deadpanned. It wasn't in his prepared remarks.
Congressional Democrats applauded their approval.

Nasty folks, that, trying to take a swing at the President at an historically bipartisan meeting.
He came back really well on that one. The "I know, because I've won both of them" was not part of the prepared speech.
