President Obama went off-script with an epic ad-libbed burn to Republicans during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, earning him a standing ovation from several members of Congress.
The President’s original remarks, as prepared for delivery were:
I have no more campaigns to run. My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I’ve had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol – to do what I believe is best for America.
But, after being heckled by Republicans who clapped derisively, the President went off script making the following ad-libbed burn:
I have no more campaigns to run. (Applause.) My only agenda — (laughter) —
I know because I won both of them. (Applause.)
My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I’ve had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol — to do what I believe is best for America.
