Wednesday, November 7, 2012 U.S. President Barack Obama has been re-elected.
"We have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States Of America that the best is yet to come," he told supporters early Wednesday in Chicago, after Mitt Romney conceded victory to the Democrat.

Mitt Romney was never going to be a candidate for Mount Rushmore, but barely 40 years after he warned of it, America has become, in Richard Nixon's eerie phrase, "a pitiful, helpless, giant."
