Hi from India. I shed tears of joy when Obama won the first election. He has won again but this time I am not so elated, just relieved that Romney lost. Obama better change his policies to make USA more lovable in the eyes of the world and prove he is worthy of Nobel prize.

Good afternoon from an ex-pat in Japan! First of all, congratulations to the President. He wasn't my choice, but so be it. He deserves respect for winning. I only hope his second term is better than the first, or the U.S. economy will continue to slide down. It has happened here in Japan, I don't want it to happen in the States too. A decade long slump isn't pretty.
