U.S President Barack Obama got another 4 years in the White House after handsomely defeating Mitt Romney in the U.S Presidential Elections today. In a hard-fought and expensive race, the margin of victory for Obama was in the end surprisingly large.
I admit I thought Romney was going to win but
I wasn’t that surprised by a win for Obama. As I had said several times, I
thought the guy wasn’t great but he did well enough to deserve another term as
President. Both guys had a chance. What I was surprised at was the margin of
victory.
Under America’s confusing (and slightly mad) Electoral
College system, Obama rolled to a comfortable victory after winning the “swing
states” of New Hampshire, Michigan, New Mexico, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Ohio. Of the “swing states”,
Romney only managed to win North Carolina and
maybe Florida
So congratulations Mr. Barack Obama, President of
the United States of America

Of course! Romney was going to give the rich traders a massive tax cut. Obama want them to pay their share of taxes.
