As for the electoral votes, Obama garnered the needed 270 votes for him to win the Presidential race. He got 303 as against Romney's 206.

In his victory speech as US President for four more years (2012-2016), Barack Obama said that the best is yet to come and everyone, no matter who he/she is, can make it big in the US.

"I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love," said Obama in front of his thousands of supporters in Chicago. "It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native Americans or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you're willing to try."

The Democrats apparently have also ruled the Senate Race, winning 21 seats, while the Republicans won 8.

However, for the House of Representatives, it's the Republicans who won majority so far, 231 seats, while the Democratic Party has 191 seats.
