[Josy]

244 obama
193 romney

[BBfanUSA]

He's just got projected to win Iowa. A Swing State. Obama

[BBfanUSA]

BReaking News NBC has just projected Obama Reelection. Chicago is going nuts (His location)

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah, I'd say they're right. The Blue States are coming in and the floodgates are opening

[SoBig]

Everyone is reporting that Obama won.

[Josy]

2318: Joan Soley, BBC News, Washington tweets: "FOX News can now report Ohio for President Obama

[Raph]

Obama wins with 274 already.. Yeah buddy! :D

:(

[Jack_]

Official now then. What a bloody relief.

Laughing at the faces of the Republicans. Hope they **** off home and re-evaluate their disturbing and backwards views and policies.

[MTVN]

Romney HQ is not a happy place to be right now, oh well another 4 years of Obama then, quite surprised at the enthusiasm of the support for him considering his first terms been a bit of a disappointment, if the Republicans had a stronger candidate they'd have won

[Alf]

look at the fanfair, you wouldn't get that in uk, they say they are electing a presidant but really they are electing a king, we don't need to show this kind of ovation for our political leader's, because we already have a monarch, he'll get the same fanfair treatment when he leave's his reign, our prime minister will be sent a removal van and get kicked out of number 10, that's what make's us british great, the fact that the most powerful man in our country has to bow his head down to our monarch who stand's for all us british.

[Jack_]

Fox were reporting 'illegal voting' in Ohio earlier apparently. You couldn't make it up... :laugh2:

[Locke.]

It was never in doubt for good old Barack

[Omah]

So, Obama's still President?

[Maia]

A silly day in America, just very glad I don't live there

[Macie Lightfoot]

A silly day in America, just very glad I don't live there

Mitt Romney you have been evicted please leave the presidential campaign.

Case closed. Bye.

[Locke.]

They are saying on CBS news that Romney hasn't phoned Obama yet because he is refusing to concede the loss at this stage

[Novo]

Same sex marriage isn't even close to being one of the most important issues so i don't know why people go on about that so much

[MTVN]

Was just gonna say don't see why the gay marriage thing is such a major issue really, plus it's not like Obama's actually done anything to push towards legalising it in 4 years as President and it's basically just an individual state decision anyway

[Shaun]

oh thank ****

[Shaun]

Same sex marriage isn't even close to being one of the most important issues so i don't know why people go on about that so much

try saying that to gay people.

Gay rights and women's rights are extremely important issues for social progression. The Republican's policies are backwards and would send the world back into the 20th century. Comparing homosexuality to paedophillia is disturbing, and criminalising abortion even for rape and incest (and making some abhorrent comments regarding that) is appalling.

Social equality and progression is one of the most important issues in any election campaign, especially the election of the world's most important political figure. Undoing the work of the last 100 years in a four year term is really not even worth thinking about.

[Locke.]

Mitt will be storming that stage Obama is supposed to be giving his speech on by the looks of things

[Novo]

Obama is on the phone to his good friend Vlad right now breaking the news

How would he do that, he'd pretty much retain the status quo as Obama did for 4 years until that interview where he only ever gave vocal support to it, Obama originally ran for President in 08 on a platform of supporting civil unions but not same sex marriage

totally agree, i know this sounds bad but 9/11 played a huge part in the progression of america, it opened up the eye's of backward's racist, homophobic america, most of the heart of america were so far out of touch with the rest of the world,

without 9/11 obama would never have been elected in the first place, a black president would have been unthinkable, so has i said it sound's bad but 9/11 was a blessing in disguise for america.

hope i haven't offended anybody by saying that, it's just what i believe.

[MTVN]

Gave us 4 more years of Bush as well though

[MTVN]

Romney still hasn't phoned Obama to concede

[Novo]

Hasn't got any credit

[Shaun]

yaaaaay Colorado goes to Obama.

Hang on a minute i think Delaware is still up for grabs

Doesn't matter. Its over.

[Alf]

Obama is not black.
ok, i bow down to your knowledge and eyesight

[Shaun]

Other results of votes:

Maryland and Maine have voted in favour of gay marriage - it looks like Washington will follow suit, and I can't find any results for Minnesota.
Colorado and Washington have voted to legalise recreational marijuana :o
California may, but it is incredibly tight, vote to repeal the death penalty (although the main argument seems to be that it costs so much to process, and deal with appeals)

good day for liberals :pipe:

[Shaun]

poor Mittens.

Right. Like he didn't have a white mother. Calling him black is disrespecting half of his heritage. Unless you don't care about that and just mindlessly follow the "one drop" that created by racist Americans to promote white supremacy. Either way calling him black is ignorant.

[Shaun]

I wonder how the results would have been if Romney stood in 2008 (and lost, obviously) and McCain stood in 2012... McCain was a far more tolerable republican candidate IMO

[Shaun]

Virginia goes to Obama. Bit surprised about that.

how do you know calling him black disrespect's half of his heretige?
i'm sure he's been called the first black american president before, or am i wrong? don't bring up the race card because i am stating fact's.

[SoBig]

Obama still would have won. Americans were tired of republicans after Bush screwed up the economy.

[MTVN]

Yeah I quite liked McCain but any Republican would probably have lost after 8 years of Bush and he kind of shot himself in the foot by picking Palin as his running mate, if he'd done that again he'd probably still have lost this election I think, especially cos he's 76 now and there's even more chance of him popping his clogs during his Presidency :laugh:

[Shaun]

Samuel L. Jackson ‏@SamuelLJackson
Trolls HYPERVENTILATIN' tonite! Won't honor U w/a retweet! CHOKE MUTHAPUBLICANZ! CHOKE!!

Romney has conceded, might stay up for the speeches now

Calling him black is ignoring half of his heritage. He is not black. He is bi-racial.

You are right, you aren't the first person to call him "black". That doesn't change the fact that you and the other people calling him "black" are wrong.

[Locke.]

Here he is

[Maia]

Here he is the almighty one

He is the almighty loser.

Well that was nice of him. Would love to know what they really to do when they find out they're losing/have lost, though :laugh:

bi racial is a new word to me, i've heard of mixed race but never bi racial. me personally i wouldn't call him either of them, i'd call him a human being, but i was talking about a monumental piece of america's short history, and he was clearly seen as america's first black president, that's a fact, he was not seen as america's first bi racial president.

"We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs ... and when we go through tough times it necessarily stirs up passions."

Listen very closely

Good old Barack

He is just a gimmick

Ok then

[Novo]

Do you know what Putin said after he won? he said " Thank you and Goodbye " that's all we needed but he had to give us a life story didn't he

[SharkAttack]

Well, thank God that's over. Can we get back to making up stupid Christmas names for ourselves and laughing a whole lot? ;)

[Munchkins]

Awww i loved his speech :)
so glad he won

[Me. I Am Salman]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WAKE UP TO :worship:

[Kizzy]

Me too... tried so hard to stay awake :)
Great result will watch the speech later.
Come on Britain, we need Milliband in for us now!

[Nedusa]

Great Result for America and the rest of the World, Obama for me represents the best possible leader for the US at this time.

Great acceptance speech from Obama and nice to see Romney also give a warm acceptance to Obama's victory, very magnanimous in defeat.

[Black Dagger]

Thank god for Obama, now my fellow LGBT's can be happy enough for another 4 years xo.

[Black Dagger]

And all that other stuff that Barack is all for, yay Obama and all that.

[nicole_burks]

Nothings worse than waking up to ignorance on your facebook. So many people are claiming "I'm gonna go move to ________." I've found out who some people are through this. :bored:

For y'all that were wondering, I did vote for Obama.

Hahahahaha it would be hilarious if he was assassinated!!!! Love it when fathers are murdered!!!!! top banter!!!

I disagree. I love obama , 1) because hes a thoroughly good person 2) he actually makes sense and hasjoined up thinking unlike the mass majority of people in dumbed down times (we are stupider per head in the UK than the US) 3) obama isnot trying to inflame wars, bush and romney were 4) obama is reducing the military to invest more at home, thank God. the US military is way too big 5) the abortion issue will never go away. the debate over it was pathetically shallow, it just didnt get past name calling. the whole thing needs to be run far better, with more regulation, more safe guards, more support and more options made available to mothers and more input from fathers too. the UK has gone too liberal and you end up with 191000 abortions a year the highest level per head on the planet. 6) gay marriage is a trivial matter. gay people in the US have all the rights, time to move on and live their lives. disabled rights and rightsof elderly people must be looked at far better. 7) going after the corporate crooks, regulating them and creating jobs and wealth for the working/middle classes is now obamas main agenda, he will do this way better than romney. romeny simply wasnt much better than bush on the economy, wed have seen more elitist control and another crash in 10 years. obamas building long term economic growth , spreading wealth from the grass roots up. his plan will last.

8) stem cell research is massive too.

9)lastly healthcare was by miles and miles and miles and miles the biggest most important issue. nearly all other issues were trivial. 50 million americans will now receive healthcare treatment as will their children and their childrens children. this is his greatest achievement, something no president has ever achieved.

[the truth]

I wonder if you'd be as upset as you are now if he was talking about a female president?

yes I would. i hte talk of assissantion of anyone, especially a great person, its absollutely disgusting

they might not like the way you try and tell people what the can and cant say, if he want's to talk about assassinating the president then so what, as long as he dosn't follow up on his action's there's no harm done. free speach should mean free speach or scrap it and surpress our speach, which one do you want?
