Obama's 'No More Campaigns' Mic-Drop Moment Silences Critics

President Barack Obama lit up Twitter during his State of the Union address Tuesday night with an off-the-cuff remark related to having no more campaigns to run — a jab that's being referred to as his "mic-drop" moment.

"I have no more campaigns to run," Obama said, to which Republicans laughed and applauded. Without skipping a beat, the president then fired back with a confident zinger: "I know because I won both of them."

More than 2.6 million Tweets were sent related to #SOTU, and that comment generated the most tweets per minute during the address, according to Twitter.

Twitter users reacted to the comment.

Some call Obama's mic drop last night arrogant.If it had been a republican Prez, it would be on bumper stickers slapped on truck nuts TODAY.

I think its pretty clear now that Obama doesn't need a mic to drop the mic.

Somebody give Obama a football to spike and a mic to drop.

@OneCopaceticCAT @BarackObama @maddow @msnbc that was the all-time "Mic Drop". Props to President Obama for being clever on the spot.

Any President that wins twice deserves to say this. But no one looks as good as President Obama saying it.... http://t.co/C4CKLnKS57
