For better or worse, the people of the United States have spoken and President Barack Obama will have another four years in office.

It has been an interesting election for the United States as well as for the people watching around the world.

As a US ex-pat, I am glad that Mitt Romney didn’t get in. He was a little too extremist – especially on his views regarding women’s issues – and I don’t think extremism is what the United States needs right now.

While I’m not completely supportive of Obama by any means, I am glad he has more time in office to show the people what he can do.
