****-- Voters return Obama to White House --*CHICAGO - U.S. President Barack Obama Tuesday won another term in office, while the balance of power in Congress was unchanged.
"I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead," a hoarse Obama told an enthusiastic crowd at his headquarters in Chicago early Wednesday. "Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual."
Obama promised to work with Democrats and Republicans to quickly address the challenges facing the country because the America "voted for action."
He said he would contact Republican rival Mitt Romney to "talk about where we can work together to move this country forward."
"This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history, but that's not what makes us strong. Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores," he told an enthusiastic crowd estimated at 10,000 people.
"What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth," he said.
He said he looked forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties "to meet the challenges we can only solve together," such as reducing the deficit, reforming the tax code, reforming the immigration system and freeing the country from foreign oil.
"We've got more work to do," he said.
He said he believes the country "can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America."
Romney conceded the election to Obama, saying early Wednesday he prayed the president succeeds in leading the nation for four years.
