People out in the streets celebrating!

ALL OVER AMERICA!




“Four more years!” chants crowd outside White House

Random “Woooo!”, blares of car horns and cheerful shouts of “Obama!” filled the blocks surrounding the White House minutes after media outlets declared the President won a second term.

Supporters sandwiched both sidewalks of 16th Street as they descended upon Lafayette Park outside the presidential mansion about 11:30 p.m.

The crowd started small with a half dozen or so people trickling in, but as they neared police erected barricades on Pennsylvania Avenue the joined a chorus of hundreds.

“Four more years! Four more years!” the crowd chanted.

Supporters draped in American flags climbed small trees on the edge of the White House grounds.
