Barack Obama has won the 2012 presidential election, announcing his win on Twitter at 11:14 p.m. ET Tuesday evening:
This happened because of you. Thank you.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 7, 2012
Obama then posted a tweet written by himself with the signature "-bo" at the end:
We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. Thank you. -bo— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 7, 2012
He followed that with another at 11:16 p.m. ET:
Four more years. twitter.com/BarackObama/st…— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 7, 2012
That photo tweet quickly became the single most-retweeted message in Twitter history:

In 2008, Obama announced victory with the following tweet:
