After a close fight with the former
Massachusetts Governor, Barack Obama regained his position as the
president of the United States. Yesterday afternoon, Mitt Romney gave
up on his claim to the presidency in a concessionary speech which
congratulated the president and called for the American citizens to
unite and help one another.
“The nation as you know is at a
critical point. At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bikering
and political postering. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle
to do the people's work and citizens also have to ride through the
occasion.” Romney said.
The fights was outstandingly expensive
which involves only a handful of swing states wherein the efforts are
poured in. The president managed to win the majority of them such as
New Hampshire, Michigan, New Mexico, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Ohio. Meanwhile Romney
only North Carolina and Florida but the later is almost hanging by a
cliff.
After Romney's speech and Obama was
declared to have his second term, congratulatory statements from
world leaders poured in. Many coming from fellow UN security councils
and allies.
“I will continue to work with
President Obama to ensure the vital security interest of Israel and
United States,” said by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu.
“ (As) a treaty ally and strategic
partner of America, the Philippines looks forward to deepening the
cooperation between the Philippines and the United States in Mr.
Obama's second term,” as relayed on a statement coming from the
Philippine president.
Obama will now face issues like whether
the Bush tax cuts should expire and many other pressing concerns like
tax hikes.
