Obama revives 'hope' with re-election

WASHINGTON -- Glowing with triumph, U.S. President
Barack Obama revived his old theme of hope Wednesday, telling Americans “the
best is yet to come” after defying dark economic omens with a decisive
re-election win.

The
44th U.S.
president and the first African-American to claim the Oval Office was returned
to power after a joyless election which appears to have deepened, rather than
healed, his nation's political divide.

“In
this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has
been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we
have fought our way back,” Obama, 51, said at a victory party in Chicago .

“I
have never been more hopeful about America . And I ask you to sustain
that hope,” Obama said, striving for inspiration rarely shown in a campaign
where the prophet of hope of 2008 became a conventional, brawling politician.

“I
have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists,
despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so
long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep
fighting,” Obama said.

With
only Florida among the battleground states still to be declared, Obama had 303
electoral votes — well over the 270 needed to win the White House — and
Republican challenger Mitt Romney formally conceded the race.

Obama
had a slim lead in the national popular vote, leading Romney by 50 percent to
49 percent after drawing more than 56 million votes. Turnout appeared strong,
though official figures had yet to be released.

As
Obama's victory was confirmed with wins in rustbelt Ohio
and his spiritual political home in Iowa ,
large crowds suddenly materialized outside the White House, chanting “Four more
years” and “O-bama, O-bama.”

Republican
nominee Romney, 65, deflated and exhausted, offered a classy tribute, as he
consoled dejected supporters in Boston
moments after phoning Obama to formally concede.

“This
is a time of great challenges for America and I pray that the
president will be successful in guiding our nation.” Romney said.
