God help America with this man at the helm.

Lee. Totally agree with you - they are a real class act. 85% of the world wanted Obama rather than Romney. 85%!!!!! His support both inside and outside America speaks volumes. And gives most of us a little more hope for the future this morning :-D :-D

The Resulute Desk. Wikipedia...





President Barack Obama sitting at the Resolute desk in 2009.
The Resolute desk is a large, nineteenth-century partners' desk often chosen by presidents of the United States for use in the White House Oval Office as the Oval Office desk. It was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was built from the timbers of the British Arctic Exploration ship Resolute. Many presidents since Hayes have used the desk at various locations in the White House, but it was Jackie Kennedy who first brought the desk into the Oval Office in 1961 for President John F. Kennedy. It was removed from the White House only once, after the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, when President Johnson allowed the desk to go on a traveling exhibition with the Kennedy Presidential Library. After this it was on display in the Smithsonian Institution. President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office, where Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now Barack Obama have used it.

(To put his weary feet on ) :-0

:-D :-D :-D

Donald Trump’s on Twitter after Obama win: ‘We should march on Washington and stop this’ Personally, I would much prefer Trump marched on Hawaii.

Obama and Romney needed 270 to win. Obama now has 303 (Sylvia confimed that 90 minutes ago) with only Florida to declare.

So glad it wasn't down to Florida again ;-)

Delighted to see result this morning. What a class act the Obama's are :-D :-D :-D

11:00 pm Canada, ca 7:00 am UK


Obama = 303
Romney = 203


Romney delayed conceding defeat fro well over an hour ............... advisors were telling him NOT to concede!


Eventually he did phone Obama to congratulate, then gave what I thought was a very weak speech that lasted less than 5 minutes ................ even though he did call for people to work together.


Obama gave a fantastic speech! He's one of the best orators around!

Obama = 64
Romley = 88

Candidates need 270 electoral votes to win

Obama v Romley

Results state-by-state so far

Obama = 64
Romley = 82
