When President Barack Obama delivered his 6th State Of The Union Address 2015, he was not expected to speak about the shadows in the past, but his vision of the future.

Embarking on a "super-confident" monologue about his ambitious vision for the future, the US President acknowledged that his administration "had no more campaigns to run."

The President got a few people clapping on the sidelines, and thought it was a good opportunity to spruce up his speech a little by following-up his last statement with: "I know because I won both of them." Obama received huge applause for his ad lib remark, which went viral on social media with the hashtag, #IWonBothofThem.

These are headlines from President Barrack Obama's "I won both of them" quip compiled by UTSandiego.com:
