In the midst of all their celebrating, the POTUS and his campaign staff took time to issue a few gracious and grateful tweets themselves. "Four more years," Obama posted along with a photo of a happy embrace between the Prez and his first lady, Michelle Obama. "We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. Thank you. --bo," Obama later wrote.
