Barack Obama has been re-elected as the President of America, after defeating Mitt Romney, in a fierce battle. The key states of Ohio and Iowa, proved to be key, as the Democrat returns to the White House for his second and final term.
Obama tweeted: “This happened because of you. Thank you,” even the results were announced.
Although it was predicted to be a close race, Obama comfortably won in the battleground states, after Romney could not penetrate Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, despite investing millions of dollars on TV ads.
It does appear President Obama, had been confident of a win, as he spent the day playing basketball at a gym near his Chicago home.
He has sent an e-mail to those who signed up to his campaign, and it read: “Friend, I’m about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.
“I want you to know that this wasn’t fate, and it wasn’t an accident. You made this happen.
“You organised yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn’t easy, you pressed forward.
“I will spend the rest of my presidency honouring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
“But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
“Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
“There’s a lot more work to do.
“But for right now: Thank you.
Barack”
