Here is a practical answer, courtesy of user [Kirill Slatin][1] who posted the answer as a comment. Practical use example at the bottom of the answer.
If, like me, you need to use that response object as a scope variable, this should work:
$http.get('URL').success(function(data){
$scope.data = data;
$.fullCalender = $scope.data;
$scope.$apply()
});
$scope.$apply() is what will persist the response object so you can use that data.

Why would you need to do this?
I'd been trying to create an "edit" page for my recipes app.
I needed to populate my form with the selected recipe's data.
After making my GET request, and passing the response data to the $scope.form, I got nothing... $scope.$apply() and [Kirill Slatin][1] helped big time. Cheers mate!
Here's the example from my editRecipeController:
$http.get('api/recipe/' + currentRecipeId).then(
function (data) {
$scope.recipe = data.data;
$scope.form = $scope.recipe;
$scope.$apply()
}
);
Hope that helps! [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/users/4573999/kirill-slatinhttps://stackoverflow.com/users/4573999/kirill-slatin
