President Barack Obama was reelected Tuesday night, shortly before midnight EST, in an election that wasn’t quite as close as some people expected.
This was, of course, music to the ears of his many Hollywood backers.
Here’s a sampling of some of the reactions on Twitter regarding Obama’s narrow but undisputed victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney:
Aziz Ansari: “Karl Rove bout to give a Suge Knight style BEAT DOWN to the dude who was supposed to rig the machines.”
Rob Thomas: “Everyone just keep hateful comments to yourself. If romney had won, I would have congratulated him as well and still said we need to move on.”
Lea Michele: “Amazing election party tonight at@MrRPMurphy’s house! And so glad we got to celebrate the re-election of OBAMA!!! #GObama”
