Barack Obama Re-Elected President of the United States: Country Stars React
Barack Obama was re-elected President of the United States on Tuesday (Nov. 6) following a heated battle with Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the key battleground state of Ohio. Within minutes of learning the news, country music's top stars were celebrating, congratulating, complaining or simply making jokes about the 2012 election results. Like much of the nation, Nashville's best are split politically.
Sara Evans was perhaps the most vocal, tweeting her displeasure with how the results were coming in before the election was called for President Obama. Others who supported Romney did a better job of keeping their chin up. Charlie Daniels vowed the fight would go on, while Obama supporters like Chely Wright and Billy Ray Cyrus raised a hand to fist bump followers on Twitter.

Today is a day of new beginnings and if you can't get what you want,take what you can get and make what you want out of it.

First time I nodded my head in agreement with Romney was during his concession speech.

Marijuana prohibition is a failure. Billions are spent incarcerating people for simple possession of a drug less harmful than alcohol.
