Congratulations, President Obama! Readers, whether you agree or disagree with the results, you have just witnessed American democracy in action. The system may not be perfect, but it's still the envy of people around the world. As Foreign Service Officers -- as do our brothers & sisters in uniform -- we swore to defend the U.S. Constitution and follow the orders of the President, whether Republican or Democrat. Special kudos to my colleagues who hosted election viewing parties at American Corners around the world! Check out some party photos from U.S. Embassies around the world:
