While I didn't completely get what I wanted from Obama's address - although he DID push for an economic and tax agenda I can support - I did get to bear witness to one of the epic smackdowns in American History:
During his scripted speech, Obama claimed his position as "I have no more campaigns to run."
This prompted a round of applause from the Republican Congresscritters seemingly celebrating that Obama's unable to run for re-election.
Obama then ad-libbed "I know... because I won both of them."
Boom.
Burn.
Dunk.
Mic Drop.

It was sweet.
If I ever have kids, I will tell them of this moment.
