YAY! Obama wins AGAIN!!

awwwww
After 18 months of campaign, Obama has won the election and will be the President of the United State for another term. Obama surpassed the decisive 270-vote threshold in the Electoral College with victory in Ohio. That and a later projected victory in another swing state(virginia) gave him 303 electoral votes to 206 for Romney, according to the CNN.

Obama gave his acceptance speech shortly after (EXCERPTS):


"Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come."







"I want to thank every American that participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time, or waited in line for a very long time--by the way we have to fix that" he said with his usual 'swag'
Ever the romantic, he tweeted this photo:


His Republican challenger ,Mitt Romney has delivered a speech congratulating Obama on the victory. 


"I wish all of them well, but particularly the President, the First Lady and their daughters.

I pray that the President will be successful in guiding our nation."
