Months of fundraising, tireless speeches and campaign spending has paid off for President Obama.

The Commander-In-Chief will stay in his position for four more years after America spoke loud and clear Tuesday, re-electing the president instead of challenger Mitt Romney.

The race was closer than 2008, when Obama beat Republican John McCain by getting 365 of the 538 electoral votes needed.

This time around, Romney got 203 electoral votes as of 9:30 p.m. MT, but that was far from what he needed thanks to Obama wins in Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa.
