WASHINGTON Barack Obama: Obama

Republican Challenger Dept: WASHINGTON Barack Obama avoided a pink slip Tuesday, marching to victory against his Republican challenger despite a slow-as-molasses economic recovery and a bitterly contested election that had the U.S. president's supporters fearful he was doomed to the indignity of a single term, according to Vancouver Sun. Supporters at Obama's Chicago headquarters greeted the president with euphoria as he strode to the podium to the upbeat strains of Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered, his 2008 campaign anthem and u.S. election results updated here all night. Obama was declared the winner after several gut-wrenching hours that saw the president and his White House rival, Mitt Romney, spend election night much as they did their bruising, $2.6 billion campaign in a tense nail-biter.
