President Barack Obama is getting ready to take the stage in Chicago for a victory speech. He has been with friends and family in the Fairmont Hotel, waiting for Mitt Romney to call and concede. 

Shortly after the battleground state of Virginia turned blue and bumped the electoral college votes up to 303, Mr. Romney called Obama and conceded the election.

CBS said that Mr. Obama is the only president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term with the economy in such bad shape and unemployment so high.
