President Barack Obama just defeated Gov. Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential Election and he won himself a second term Tuesday (Nov. 6). Networks project that Obama beat Romney after he won over the crucial state of Ohio.
Now, Obama heads back to office facing what will most likely be bitterly partisan negotiations over whether the Bush tax cuts should expire, according to news reports. The House will still be majority Republican, with Democrats maintaining their majority in the Senate.
Congrats to the whole Obama team!
