My two top reasons for being happy that Obama won
First, as a non-American, I prefer American Administrations to have as flat a learning curve as possible. Breaking in a new one is tedious (and it is not as if Obama and Romney had any serious foreign policy disagreements anyway, Romney's attempt to invent some were pretty pathetic).
Second, solidly re-electing a black President will hopefully kill off some of that "Americans are SO racist" stuff. Yes, there is racism in the US, but clearly the country is not defined by it.
On a more personal note, it was a good election for the queers. But that extended well beyond Obama being re-elected.
