What a bunch of crybabies...they got spanked. Sahil Kapur: Ive run my last campaign, Obama said toward the end of the nationally televised address. Republicans in the chamber applauded derisively, which prompted the president to ad-lib a zinger which wasnt in his prepared remarks: I know because I won both of them. Democrats erupted with applause. In the Capitol after the speech, Republicans expressed displeasure at being jabbed by the president in the same speech where he asked for their cooperation. Probably not helpful when you rub the other guys nose in the dirt a little bit, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), a close ally of Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), told reporters. Look, hes allowed to take a victory lap but he ought to be thinking about what works — whats gonna help me actually put points on the board, Cole said. How are you going to define your legacy in the last two years. Is this all about a third Obama term by winning the presidency? Then that would suggest you just want confrontation and the ability for your nominee to attack a do nothing right wing Congress.
