Obama: 'We have picked ourselves up,' fought back

President Barack Obama heralded his re-election with a call to action early Wednesday, telling Americans that their citizenship doesn't end with their vote and declaring that the "best is yet to come."

Obama offered a call for reconciliation after a divisive election, but defended the freewheeling nature of politics and said big decisions "necessarily stir up passions."

Obama said he wants to meet with Republican rival Mitt Romney to discuss how they can work together. He says they may have "battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply."

The president rolled to a second term with more than 300 electoral votes.

Obama spoke to an ecstatic crowd crammed into the cavernous McCormick Place convention center in Chicago's lakefront. Obama appeared about two hours after he was declared the victor in his re-election bid and less than an hour after Romney offered a cordial concession.

Witnesses say Bush argued with poll workers for several minutes afterwards in a effort to redo his vote, but in accordance with state law they ultimately denied his request.

The embarrassing incident may have gone unnoticed if it weren't for a local newspaper reporter who happened to be voting in the next booth. Suzanna Everett, a politics correspondent for the Waco Times witnessed the entire ordeal and crafted a cunning scheme to make it public. Source
