What a crazy day. We spent the most part of the evening watching the polls and the electoral college results. You can imagine my joy when CBS announced that Obama is the projected winner. Congrats to him.Votes have been fully counted in DC, Delaware, Kentucky & North Carolina. Romney obviously won Kentucky while Obama won DC & Delaware. As I type this, the popular votes are tied at 49.3%. Republicans are leading by 9 votes in the House of Representatives.
Popular votes or not, Obama is in! Check out some of Mr O's achievements here if you're on of "them" who say Obama has done nothing the past 4 years.
Here's a thank you note from the President, titled "How this happened":
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 organized 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 honoring 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
