From Fox News, about the liberal Democratic president's historical re-election: "President Obama won a second White House term Tuesday night,
overcoming concerns about the fragile economic recovery to soundly
defeat Republican nominee Mitt Romney. 'We've got more work to do,' Obama declared, addressing a cheering
crowd at his victory rally in Chicago early Wednesday morning."
The article continues about President Obama's victory speech: "After one of the nastiest political battles and most gridlocked terms
in modern American history, the president vowed to reach out to the
other side in a second term on everything from immigration to the
deficit. He asked supporters to keep the 'hope' and said that while the 'passions' and 'controversy' won't wane after Election Day, 'progress
will come in fits and starts.'"
More about the U.S. presidential election: "The president's projected victory came shortly after he was declared
the winner in the crucial battleground of Ohio. The president was
leading by a narrow margin in that state as returns continued to stream
in overnight, but a streak of victories in other battlegrounds put him
well over the 270 electoral votes required to win. The count, with the
results from Florida still not in, stood at 303 electoral votes for
Obama, to Romney's 206. Obama held a narrower lead in the popular vote count. But despite
that and the race being tied up nationally in polls leading up to the
election, Obama's investment -- in time and money -- in a handful of
swing states evidently paid dividends. Obama scored a big win in
Pennsylvania, a vital contest where Romney made a late play for support.
Obama also walked away with wins in the swing states of Virginia,
Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan."
