Barack Obama and supporters celebrate his re-election

Washington, Nov 7: US is in a celebratory mood. After Barack Obama was re-elected as US President on Tuesday, Nov 6, his supporters celebrated his victory in a grand manner. Obama thanked the nation for bringing him back to the White House. The 44th US President addressed Americans post his victory. His family members--wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia were present with him during the celebrations.

Obama told cheering supporters early on Wednesday that "the best is yet to come" for the United States as he stormed to a second term by defeating Republican rival Mitt Romney.

"In this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up. We have fought our way back," Obama told hundreds of cheering supporters.

"We know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come."

Near the end of his speech, Obama hinted at a more far-reaching agenda in his second term despite the lingering partisan gridlock in Washington, calling for a future that "isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet."

"I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggest. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of individual ambitions," Obama said.

"Together with your help and God's Grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth. Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these United States."
