We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!"
Former comedian Jackson, meanwhile, wrote, "I can't stop crying." She added in another tweet, "America died."
President Barack Obama is elected to a second term in the White House following Tuesday, November 6 election, winning over Mitt Romney. He delivered his victory speech on early Wednesday, stating, "A decade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over. And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you, and you have made me a better president."
"With your stories and your struggles, 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," he added. "We know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come."
Romney himself has called Obama to congratulate him on his win. The Republican politician later delivered his own speech, thanking his family for their support and praising his running mate Paul Ryan. "Thank you and God bless America. You guys are the best - thank you so much," he concluded.
