Obamas Return to White House as Romneys Return to 1954

America cast its historic vote today, sending Barack and Michelle Obama back to the White House while sending Mitt and Ann Romney back to 1954.

The election meant the end of the road for Mr. Romney, who had been actively seeking the Presidency for the past sixty-five years.

Addressing supporters at the Boston Convention Center, Mr. Romney called his defeat tonight “bittersweet”: “On one hand, I lost the election. But on the other hand, I’ll never have to show anyone my taxes.”

If he had won tonight, Mr. Romney would have become the first man elected President after telling half of the country to screw themselves.

I was thinking last night how old-fashioned the Romneys seem. He is only 8 years older than me (guess that makes me old, too!

No more baby boomer pres candidates from here forward. Time to move on. I think President Obama represents this. Don't know that Hilary does, though I love her very much!

Mitt gets to go back to being a cagey unemployed multi-millionaire.

President Obama has to get up and go to work in the morning.
