Addressing Democratic and Republican lawmakers, Obama pleaded for both parties to put aside partisanship and work together. He told the crowd he has no more campaigns to run, prompting applause and laughter from Republicans.

Obama quipped, "I know because I won both of 'em." That elicited loud applause from Democrats and another round of laughter.
