Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech at approximately 1:40 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning, shortly after Mitt Romney delivered his concession speech.
During the speech, Obama thanked his supporters, wished goodwill towards his now-former opponents and laid out his plan for the next four years, while painting a picture of a bipartisan, united America.
"We are not as divided as our politics suggests. We are not as cynical as the pundits believe," said Obama during the speech. "We are not red states or blue states, we are the United States of America."
