President Obama Wins Re-Election

At 11:18 pm EST  last night Ohio put  President Obama over the top to win a second term as President of the United States.  In the end, the President had reached over 300 electoral votes to Romney’s 206 after all but Florida’s votes were counted .

In a speech to cheering,  flag waving, and dancing  Chicago supporters and to a watching nation the President said  the American people have “picked ourselves up”in the past  and fought back during tough economic times, and added  “The Best is yet to come.”

 

 

Challenger Mitt Romney in a gracious concession speech told his supporters to “Pray for President Obama and urged the political winners on both sides of the aisle  to put partisan bickering aside and “reach across the aisle” to tackle the nation’s problems.

President Obama said that he intends to sit down with Governor Romney in the coming weeks.

Here is how we voted by the states:

President  Obama won: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Maine, Maryland Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,  New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,  Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin.
